Blurb

Just five months ago, Valentine O'Dell started working at a very special kind of nightclub – one where you can dance the night away, or live out your greatest fantasy. She's learned to lose herself to her nights, forgetting all her day time woes as she charms every man she meets. It's easy enough to do when she doesn't let her feelings get involved.

Then Ari Sharapova walks in and changes everything.

Working for his father's law firm has left Ari with very little control over his life, so when he sees Valentine for the first time, he sees a girl who is desperate for someone to take care of her. To take over her. So what he can't get for himself in the day time, he'll simply take for himself at night. But when power struggles lead to real feelings, who's actually controlling whom?

Some relationships are better left in the dark.





Excerpt

When Valentine got to the ladies room, she all but fell through the door. A bathroom attendant jumped out of her chair, asking if she was alright.
“I'm fine,” she groaned. “Just bumped into a blonde nightmare.”
“Oh,” the attendant laughed. “One of those, huh?”
“Rich people are the worst,” Val growled, moving to lean against a sink. “You know? They just think they can talk to you however they want. Screw them.”
“I couldn't agree more.”
She was ready to go off on another tangent, but then the door burst open once again. Ari strode into the room, startling both of them.
“Sir, this is the -” the attendant started.
Leave,” he ordered her, though his eyes never left Valentine's.
The attendant looked unsure for a moment. Val rolled her eyes, but she eventually nodded her head, signaling that it was okay. The attendant nodded back, then demurely left the room.
“A little dramatic,” Val said once the door had shut.
“What the fuck do you think you're doing?” he demanded.
She belatedly realized he was angry. Ari was very, very angry. She glanced around the room.
“Well, I was gonna pee – I thought this was the best place to do it,” she tried to joke. His glare grew even more severe and he loomed over her.
“What are you doing here? At this restaurant? With that piece of shit out there?” he clarified. Her jaw dropped.
“Uh, excuse me, I think you'll find that your ex is the only piece of shit here,” she informed him. “You should've told her not to come where she isn't wanted.”
“Don't you ever tell me what to do. Now explain yourself.”
Explain myself?” Valentine laughed loudly and stepped away from the sink, not wanting him to have the power position of leaning over her. “Excuse me, but I'm not your girlfriend. I don't have to explain anything to you.”
“No, you're my property, and as such there are rules you must abide by,” he growled. “Rules we both agreed upon.”
So much of what he'd just said was messed up, but she decided to save most of it for later and tackle what exactly it was that had him so pissed off right now.
“That's why you're upset?” she asked. “Because of the guy I'm having dinner with? Because of Ralph?
“I'm upset because you're breaking the rules. I paid a lot of money for you – I won't tolerate insubordination.”
“You paid a lot of money for my time,” Val corrected him. “So screw you, Ari, I'm not breaking shit.”
“I told you in the beginning,” he started. “No other 'clients' – no picking anyone else up at your club. And I don't believe for one second you met Ralph out there on Tinder, or at the laundromat, or at school, or wherever, so he must be a client. What the fuck.
Oh my god, he's jealous. Jeez, you fuck a guy a couple times and suddenly he thinks he owns you.
Yet still, somewhere deep down in her chest, her heart began to beat faster.
“Yes, he's a client,” Val snapped. “But I didn't break any rules. I agreed to a dinner date with him before I met you, it's been set up for weeks now, I'm just fulfilling a deal. My world doesn't revolve around you, Ari.”
“It had better fucking start to.”
“Are you kidding?” she asked. “You're mad? How do you think I feel, seeing you here with friends and not being able to acknowledge you, and then having your evil ex talk to me like that, like she's still with you?”
“Deal with it – you knew what you were signing up for.”
Val was pretty sure steam was about to shoot out of her ears.
“I signed up to give you exclusive rights to my time,” she growled. “Not to be verbally abused by your bitchy ex-girlfriend, and not to be treated like some contractually obligated whore.”
“If the contract fits.”
Valentine slapped him before she could stop herself, shocking both of them.
“Don't you ever talk to me like that again!” she hissed. Ari stared down at her, his blue eyes ablaze with anger, that errant lock of hair falling across his forehead once again.
“I'll talk to you however I want. Don't ever fucking hit me again.”
She let out a frustrated shriek, then she slapped him again before pounding her hands against his chest. He struggled to grab hold of her arms, shoving her across the room and slamming her up against the wall by the door. He pinned her wrists near her head, then they glared at each other, both their chests heaving, both their hearts raging.
He's the worst.
She was suddenly kissing him. Or he was kissing her. It was impossible to tell – they were no longer two separate entities. He let go of her wrists and she immediately started clawing at the front of his blazer, trying to pull it apart. His left hand went around her throat, gently squeezing, while his right hand went to her exposed thigh, rubbing the outside of it.
“This dress,” Ari gasped against her. “Jesus, when I saw it …”
“When I put it on tonight, I thought of you,” Valentine spoke quickly, finally undoing the button and pushing her hands inside his jacket.
I want to fucking rip it off of you.
“God, yes, I want that, too,” she groaned, dragging her nails down his back, wishing her hands were against his skin.
Then his tongue was back between her lips, just as aggressive as always. He didn't just take a taste when he kissed – Ari made a whole meal of her mouth, and she loved being devoured.






Author Bio


Crazy woman from a remote location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since ... forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.

I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there's your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair - both a curse and a blessing - and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can't understand me.

Yeah. I think that about sums me up.

MANIPULATE (DELIVER SERIES #6) by Pam Godwin: Cover Reveal

Cover Reveal: MANIPULATE by Pam Godwin

MANIPULATE is book 6 in the DELIVER Series Dark Romance - Anti-heroes - Sex Trafficking - Cartel

Release Date: Jun 25, 2019

Amazon | Other Retailers | Goodreads

Tula Gomez is in the most ruthless prison in South America.

She only drove to Mexico to help her sister. She did nothing wrong. But her quiet life changed in an instant.

To survive the violent, cartel-controlled prison where men blend with women, she pledges her loyalty to the notorious leader in exchange for the one thing she needs most. Protection.

When she agrees to seduce the suspicious new inmates, Martin Lockwood and Ricky Saldivar, she doesn’t expect to enjoy it. Sure, they’re gorgeous, irresistibly alpha, and insanely talented with their hands and mouths. But they’re the enemy. She can’t fall for them.

Torn between her cartel loyalties and two men who want her as deeply as they want each other, she questions who is manipulating whom. Her search for answers leads to a passionate ménage, a soul-crushing secret, and an impossible choice.


DELIVER SERIES

Each book is a different couple. No cliffhangers. Must be read in order.

DELIVER (#1) - FREE VANQUISH (#2) DISCLAIM (#3) DEVASTATE (#4) TAKE (#5) MANIPULATE (#6)


DELIVER, Book 1: FREE on all retailers

His name was Joshua Carter. Now it’s whatever she wants it to be. She is a Deliverer. She lures young men and delivers them to be sold. She delivers the strikes that enforce their obedience. She delivers the sexual training that determines their purchase price. As long as she delivers, the arrangement that protects her family will hold. Delivering is all she knows. The one thing she can’t deliver is a captive from slavery. Until him. And her stubborn slave thinks he can deliver her…from herself.

VANQUISH, Book 2

Her life is like a prison cell. A self-made, to-hell-with-the-free-world existence that locks from the inside. Stop judging. Her agoraphobia doesn’t define her. It simply keeps her safe. He belongs in a prison cell. The 6x8, make-me-your-bitch variety that locks from the outside. But he’s free. To hunt. To take. To break. And he just found a sexy new toy. Capturing her is the easy part. Her fucked-up mind, however, makes him question everything he does next. But he’s a determined bastard. If all goes his way, this will hurt like hell.

DISCLAIM, Book 3

Camila was seventeen when Van Quiso kidnapped her. Ten years after her escape, the shackles refuse to release her. Not while there are still slave traders preying on her city. She will stop at nothing to end them. Even if that means becoming a slave again. Returning to chains is her worst fear—and only option. They won’t know who she is or what she intends to do. She’s prepared for every complication. Except him. The one who decimated her sixteen-year-old heart. Matias is charming, gorgeous, and dangerously seductive. He’s also untrustworthy and enshrouded in secrets. After years of no contact, he finds her—on her knees, wrists bound, in the clutches of her enemy. Will he sabotage her mission by needlessly saving her? Or will he keep her in chains and never let her go?

DEVASTATE, Book 4

“What is the price you’re willing to pay?” “Money isn’t an issue.” “I’m not talking about money.” Tate is on the hunt to find his best friend’s sister. Eleven years ago, Lucia Dias was abducted. Presumed dead. He never met her, so why does he care? Some might call his efforts noble, but his motivation is more perverse, bordering on obsession. When he follows a chilling lead to Venezuela’s Kidnap Alley, what he finds is neither a corpse nor a captive. Amid poisonous lies and crippling depravity, the price of love is devastation. And he pays. With his body, his blood, and her life.

TAKE, Book 5

He’s a notorious crime lord, a kidnapper, and an artist. Scarification is his outlet, and he just captured a new canvas. Kate refuses to surrender beneath his blade or the cruelty in his beautiful eyes. But she’s drawn to the man inside the monster. A man who makes her ache with his touch. Who owns her with his kiss. A man who worships her as deeply as he hurts her. She can run, but there’s no escape from a bond carved in scars.

SON OF CIRQUE (SONS #3) by Kailee Samuels: Arc Review

Son of CirqueSon of Cirque by Kailee Reese Samuels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

" I was untouchable. Invincible. A devil with angel wings.

There are authors you just have to trust to lead you where they want you to go; Kailee Samules is one of them.  When she announced that Son of Cirque was going to be dark, she got me undivided attention. When she said that Nico was bad, really bad, I couldn't wait to put my hands on his story. When I finally started the book, I simply grinned: this was going to be so good.
"I was quite literally just a menace to society for the sake of being one.

From the very beginning, the atmosphere is set, Nico is dark, twisted, depraved. Between the things he did and what he went through,  my emotions were all over the place. I felt for him, I bit my nails, my stomach was in knots. Gruesome scenes, chilling flashbacks blended in with magnificently raw scenes, creating a heady and powerful cocktail.

The author's universe is not all white or black though; Nico navigated through all the shades of gray. Is he a good man? Absolutely not. No doubt about that. But he is protective, loyal. His relationship with Serene, the years helping, grounded him. I loved seeing him grow from a sociopathic young adult, into a more focused and controled man. 
"No one ever said I had to use my creative talents for good. Especially when being evil was so much more fun."

I've been intrigued by Serene since I met her. Who is she, what is her story, her truth? The manipulative and determined woman showed a vulnerable side I was suspecting and was thrilled to eventually witness. She loves strongly, fiercely. 

Thanks to Son of Cirque, Nico and Serene are becoming one of my favorite couples. They thrive on power and control. Intensity, sensuality and sexuality whirl and crack around them. 

Once again, Kailee Samuels immersed me into her intricate and multi-dimensional world; to try and collect all the pieces of the puzzle (but really, I should say masterpiece) is completely addicting. The mysteries, the alliances, the betrayals and the revelations kept me riveted all along. It's simply brilliant, stunning. I can't get enough of her work. I. Need. More!!!

REQUIEM & REVERIE (THE SANDMAN DUET #2) by Keri Lake: Arc Review & Release Blitz

Requiem & Reverie (The Sandman Duet, #2)Requiem & Reverie by Keri Lake
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yes, Keri Lake did it!!! If you had any doubts, let me tell you, Requiem & Reverie, the second installment of the Sandman Duet, is just as amazing as Nocturnes & Nightmares! And I'm so glad it releases just a few weeks after the first book, otherwise the wait would have killed me!

The game keeps going, darker and darker, faster and faster. Oh the thrill!!!! The intrigue kept me on the edge of my seat. 

“You want to know why we do it, Sunshine? Why we kill so easily, and without conscience?”

Paragraph after paragraph, I kept biting my nails, making hypotheses, wondering how things were going to end for Nola, Voss and Oli.

The author definitely mastered the psychological state of mind of all her characters. Through chilling scenes, we learn more about Voss. I absolutely love Keri's anti-heroes, and this one is lethal, driven and determined to solve the puzzle that is the Sandman. 

"It’s the goodness in her, though, that attracts the predatory instincts in me.

Nola totally broke my heart in this opus. It was so easy to relate to that mom and her fear, despair and courage, even in the most hopeless situations!  Nola and Voss' fights, their depraved games and their raw and sweet moments gave the perfect rhythm to this twisted series.

"Holding tight to her elbows, I allow her to take her aggression out on me. Punching and kicking, pushing and scratching."

The equilibrium between the difficult themes (such as rape, incest, torture) and Nola and Voss' love story was simply striking.

Caught up between the betrayal, the intensity, and the anticipation, I couldn't stop reading. Until. The. Very. Last. Words. Which wrecked me!!! Boom.

Blurb

It takes a killer to catch a killer.

And no one understands the motives of ruthless murderer, The Sandman, quite like Rhett Voss. 

Having spent his childhood in the shadows of the deranged lunatic, he’s become an expert on the topic. Killing is in his blood, and as a hitman for hire, Voss maintains a steady diet of carnage, himself.

Except lately, it’s lost its appeal. Until he’s enticed to track down the clever Sandman who has his sights set on Nola Tensley.

The stunning single mom is a distraction Voss can’t afford, but to catch his elusive kin, he needs to watch the next victim closely. Consequently, stalking her soon becomes a dangerous obsession, turning a friendly game of cat and mouse into more than he bargained for, when someone close to Nola goes missing.

Suddenly, it’s no longer an old vendetta fueling Voss’s need to hunt down his enemy, but new stakes that are sure to mean more bloodshed. Voss knows better than anyone, though: to draw a killer out of hiding, one must have the right bait.

And both of them want Nola.

LOATHE ME (TOUCH OF DEATH #1) by LP Lovell: New Release & Arc Review

Loathe Me (Touch of Death #1)Loathe Me by L.P. Lovell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Since Una and Nero's story in Kill Me, L.P Lovell has been building an amazing mafia saga.  I've been following her characters with a  keen interest.

Sasha has been there from the beginning, I was so glad to hear he would have his own series! Loathe Me is the first installment of the Touch of Death series. With its dark tone, fast paced intrigue, it gripped me from cover to cover. 

In charge of the the protection of Lina, Sicilian mafia princess, Sasha is dead set in fulfilling his contract. 

“I’m an assassin, not a babysitter.” He huffs a laugh. “Semantics. She just needs deadly.”

His determination will be challenged, though, since the young woman assuredly has many hidden talents. She totally cracked me up. 

Guns, explosions, incredible tension, the atmosphere is set. That is without mentioning Lina's deep emotions. Her guilt, her frustration, her loyalty fed her rebellious attitude. 

"I expect her fear, want it even, but as I meet her gaze, there is none. Only defiance. Behind those eyes a war is brewing, and it matches my own."

Will she crack open her protector's strong shield? I'm not telling you. The cold, focused and distant Sasha has definitely a lot to handle when it comes to Lina!!!

"A tiger might seem friendly, Lina. Doesn’t mean he won’t bite you."

Blurb:
I’m a soldier. A killer. The Russian Elite.

She’s a mafia princess. A job. A runaway bride.

My business is death, however, I find myself manipulated into becoming a glorified babysitter to Adelina Ricci. She’s spoiled, naive, reckless, and yet she see’s parts of me I didn’t know existed. Makes me want things I had never even imagined. I will protect her from everything, but I can’t save her from me— that damage is already done.

A lethal knight. A rebellious pawn. A lie that will ruin them both.

Loathe me or love me?

EXCERPT:

“I know you heard that,” he says.

“Heard what?”

“Your footsteps are like a heard of elephants.” My gaze snaps to his and I glare. “I know you were listening.”

“You’re just going to let Gabi offer herself up.”

He inhales a deep breath, his broad chest rising and falling. “Your sister isn’t my problem. She contracted me to protect you, not her.”

I frown. “Wait, my father didn’t contract you?” Whatever slight imitation of an expression was on his face vanishes. “I want to speak to him.”

“If you wish to speak to Gabriella, that can be arranged.”

“What? Fine. Let me speak to her.” I hold my hand out for the phone, and he straightens away from the wall, moving past me to the kitchen.

“I’ll arrange it.”

“You literally just spoke to her!”

“Yes.”

“So call her back,” I shout after him.

He ignores me and starts banging around, pulling out various pots and pans from the kitchen cabinets. “Sasha.” Still nothing. I get up and go in the kitchen. His back is to me as he turns on the stove. “Sasha.”

Still he ignores me, and my temper spikes. Anger and frustration at his blatant inability to give a shit bubble over in a red hot torrent. Stepping forward, I grab his arm with the intention of forcing his attention. I get a lot more than just his attention though. The second my palm makes contact with his skin, my back hits the wall and his hand slams around my neck. Those unsettling eyes are completely devoid. Blank. His grip tightens around my wind pipe, and I start to panic. He’s going to kill me. I slap over his forearm, my legs scrambling for purchase. “Sasha,” I manage to choke.

He blinks before finally focusing on me. A confused frown blankets his features, as though he can’t recall getting here. His grip loosens enough for me to suck in a deep breath, but he doesn’t release me. Instead, the tiny space between us closes, until his chest is plastered to mine, crushing my body. Warm breath fans over my face, and I twist my head to the side, avoiding that glacial gaze of his.

“I cannot decipher whether you are ignorant or simply stupid,” he says.

I try to buck away from the wall and he shoves me back so hard that my skull thuds against it. “Let go of me.”

His free hand grips my jaw in a bruising hold, forcing me to look at him. “I told you not to touch me, and yet here we are, Malyshka.”

“I want to talk to my sister.”

Those cold eyes sweep over me and a sickening shiver travels down my spine. I imagine he’s picturing snapping my neck. “What you want is of little consequence.” He shoves away from me, taking a deliberate step back. “You are insolent. Your childishness will be your downfall.”

The words cut far deeper than they should, and what little air is in my lungs, leaves in a rush. I turn and walk away without a word, rubbing over my aching throat. I have to get out of here and away from him. Though I know it’s a lot easier said than done. I feel like a mouse trying to wriggle out from under the paw of a lion. The odds are not in my favour.




Meet Sasha in Make Me (Prequel Novella to Kill Me) and Kill Me! Both are 99cents each.




Una

To many, I am little more than a myth. The Kiss of Death, a hired killer, revered by some of the greatest criminal organisations in the world. Trained by the bratva themselves, without conscience, without mercy, the perfect soldier. I’ll kill anyone… for a price. Death doesn’t discriminate, she sells to the highest bidder, but even I have a weakness.

Nero

I want one thing—power. But power is merely a game of strategy. The pieces are on the chess board. Death is my queen, and also my pawn. She’ll paint this city red in exchange for the one thing she wants. Now all I have to do is watch it all play out. She’s nothing more than a weapon, and yet, I find myself wanting to dance with death, to possess her. And I always get what I want.

A game of power. A risk that could cost her everything. An obsession that would see the world burn at their feet. A bloodied king. A broken queen.

Kill me or kiss me?




*Prequel to Kill Me*

At thirteen years old I was sold, doomed to become a sex slave.
Nicholai Ivanov, boss of the Russian Bratva, gave me the ultimate gift. He saved me from a fate worse than death. He promised to make me strong, because only the strong survive, and the weak die, forgotten and inconsequential.

I now live in a world of blood and violence, where humanity itself is a weakness. My life is not a battle of bad and good, but bad and worse. This is kill or be killed, survival of the fittest.

Make me or break me?

IVY'S POISON (CAVALLIERI DELLA MORTE) by India R. Adams: Arc Review and Release Blitz

Ivy’s PoisonIvy’s Poison by India R. Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you've read India R. Adams' other books, you know they aren't exactly light, but the darkness that Ivy's Poison promised had me pinning for it for months! And there it is... wow... promises delivered!!!

The first scenes will plunge you into the twisted and heart chattering atmosphere of Ivy and Bors' tumultuous story. The extend of the shadows the author went to was incredibly well handled. 

Ivy's world of abuse, her stress, the threats hanging over her head, sized me. Not knowing where she stood, what her motives, maybe game were, was thrilling. And in her mysterious predicaments, Bors' enigmatic and possessive ways added a gripping edge to an already messed up situation. 

You have to trust the author to take you down a chilling and terrible path, and at the some time to balance it with the light she loves soothing her readers with. The equilibrium is once again beautiful and raw. You can count on her to open your eyes on matters that will break your heart, and all the while make you smile with the sweetest scenes.
