Izzy Gallo has never been described as a member of the weaker sex. She’s a woman who doesn’t take shit from anyone. Growing up with four older overprotective brothers has hardened her, making her a force to be reckoned with. Against the wishes of her two brothers, Joe and Mike, Izzy takes a weekend trip to Bike Week in Daytona, turning her world upside down. Over her head, in a world she doesn’t understand, there’s only one man who can save her.
James Caldo has dedicated his life to protect and serve as a member of the DEA. He’s cocky, overbearing, and doesn’t take no for an answer – the Gallo men have nothing on him.
When their paths cross, James makes Izzy question everything she believes about completely surrendering to the opposite sex. Does James have what it takes to overpower the headstrong Izzy, capturing her heart forever?

I’d already raised my voice, but I couldn’t fucking help it. The woman was maddening. “I’m exactly what you need and want. You’re too fucking scared to admit it.”
She shook her head as she crawled out of bed and started to dress. “You’re not all that.”
“When you grow the fuck up, call me,” I said as I stalked toward her.
“You’re a total dick,” she hissed, moving to slap me.
I grabbed her wrist, pulling her to my body. Gripping her hair in my fist, I gave it a slight tug as I hovered over her lips. She gasped, holding my shoulders.
“You know you want me,” I growled, my lips a breath away from hers. “I wrecked you for any other man. I own your ass, Izzy. I’ll let you run, but you can’t resist me forever.”

Release Day Blitz: Inked Anthology by Jace C. Jameson, JM Walker, Stacy Gail

Inked


Inked Anthology

The authors of INKED are proud to announce that all sales from the book will go to benefit women in need of mastectomy tattoos and tattoos that cover scars. Award-winning, world-renowned tattoo artist Madame Lazonga specializes in tattooing women, particularly in beautifying women who have experienced the scars that surviving cancer can leave behind. This art is not cheap, but it can be incredibly healing for women. Madame Lazonga has agreed to use all proceeds from the INKED anthology to benefit women who want these types of tattoos but perhaps cannot afford all or part of the procedure. Because our anthology revolves around tattoos and women, we couldn’t think of a better cause. To see some of Madame Lazonga’s work, please visit her website.

All sales from INKED will benefit women in need of mastectomy tattoos and tattoos that cover scars. Award-winning, world-renowned tattoo artist Madame Lazonga specializes in tattooing women, particularly in beautifying women who have experienced the scars that surviving cancer can leave behind.

Three contemporary romance and erotica authors bring you the collection Inked--three full-length novels centering around all things tattoos.

Punctured, Bruised, and Barely Tattooed – Jade C. Jamison Kory McCallister has had her eyes on tattoo artist Stone Bowman for quite some time—so long, in fact, that no other guy will do. Stone pushes every turn on button Kory has—he’s tattooed from head to toe (well, at least she prays he’s tattooed on his lower half); he’s hot; he’s funny and charming; and he’s also mysterious. So when Kory’s friends dare her to ask Stone out on a date, she can’t believe she actually finds the guts to do it. More surprising? He takes her up on the offer. She discovers that, while his past might not be quite as dark or mysterious as she’d imagined, it’s bigger than she’d expected, and it’s something she will need to contend with if she decides she wants to keep him around to color her life for good.

Shattered Strings – J.M. Walker Evancroft. This one word means everything to me. My band. My heart. My life. Without the music, I am nothing. I don’t exist. When we play, we are one. We are in control. On stage I am a woman. Powerful. Dominating. Forcing the crowd to submit to my words. Off stage? I am the complete opposite. Innocent. Jace Croft. He is the oil to my water. The darkness to my light. My band mate. My best friend. One unexpected night together unleashes new feelings that we both try to ignore but the band comes first. It always comes first. Or so I thought.

House Of Payne – Stacy Gail Life is supposedly what you make of it, but that’s crap as far as 3D artist Becks Delgado is concerned. She never wanted her brother to die in a car accident… or to be the one who was behind the wheel. Her external scars are nothing compared to the raw wounds inside, and death seems to be the only way to find peace. Sebestian Payne took the concept of a tattoo parlor and transformed it into a sophisticated gallery of living art. The House Of Payne now caters to the rich and infamous, has garnered a worldwide following, and is run by Sebastian with an iron fist. He knows Becks is exactly what The House Of Payne needs, but there’s a problem. The accident that changed her life left its mark on him as well, and whether he likes it or not, it’s time to put his House in order.











About the Authors


Jade C. Jamison: Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado, moved from one city/town to the next, and she’s decided she likes it so much she wants to stay…although travel is not out of the question. She lives in a big town in Colorado (not unlike Winchester!) with her husband and four children. She is working on becoming a crazy cat lady. Okay, so maybe not. Still want more? Jade has a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Theater, a master’s degree in English, and a master of fine arts in Creative Writing. Obviously, she loves school and the student loan folks love her. She works in human services by day, teaches English and creative writing at night, and—in between playing soccer mom and community leader—writes like a fiend. Someday soon, she’ll narrow it down to just writing, but let’s get all those kids off to college first.

J.M. Walker

JM Walker: When J.M. isn't working her Monday-Friday 9-5 job, she's spending her time reading, writing and with the love of her life. She's an all around Canadian girl. Born and raised in a small city. If you don't see J.M. writing, you'll find her with her nose in a book. Whether it's her words or someone else's, she's drawn to it. J.M. loves stories with Alpha broken males and that need to be ripped apart and put back together again. Men that fall to their knees over a wink or a giggle from their females. Two things you will never find J.M. without; her cell phone and lip gloss. If she has both of those items, you have a happy girl. Since starting her writing adventure in 2013, J.M. has met many people, real life, online, in her head and she loves every single one of them. Without the support from others, none of this would be possible and she's grateful for all that has been given to her.

Stacy Gail: A competitive figure skater from the age of eight, Stacy Gail began writing stories in between events to pass the time. By the age of fourteen, she told her parents she was either going to be a figure skating coach who was also a published romance writer, or a romance writer who was also a skating pro. Now with a day job of playing on the ice with her students, and earning her tenth contract with Harlequin's Carina Press, both dreams have come true.

Author Spotlight- Amanda Aksel




Amanda Aksel


AMANDA (ah-MAHN-dah)- Latin- Meaning lovable or worthy of love.

Fitting. I've always had an affinity for love.
​
Being born in sunny San Diego in the mid 80’s to a young military couple gave me plenty of insight into the dynamics of a romantic relationship. Somewhere between moving coasts every three years, I found myself engrossed in fairytale romances and dressing up like a bride.
​
My first real love was writing. By my sophomore year in a new high school in Virginia, I had a slew of short stories, songs, poems, and articles to my name. Writing was fun. It was a way to get the emotions, dialogue, and pictures out of my head, and create a destiny for my characters.

​ I had no intention of making a career in writing, because it wasn’t what I did, it was who I was. In reality, I wanted to be an actress. Ah, to be the face of someone else’s authored story. The plan was to move in with my aunt in L.A. after graduation, but had a change of heart. Instead, I stayed with my high school sweetheart (now husband) and attended a film school in Norfolk, VA. It was at this school that I discovered my love for writing screenplays and felt compelled to follow that path. But…as the practical girl I was brought up to be, I decided to go to a real university. While working full time, I completed my BA in Psychology in four and a half years. Becoming a couple’s therapist had always been my “backup” career and there I was on my way to solving love's most complicated quandaries one couple at a time.
​
With all my new free time after graduation, I decided to turn my full-length screenplay into a novel in hopes it would help my screenplay sell. I think I was in the middle of writing chapter two when I realized that everything I had ever written was to prepare me for that moment when I knew I was a novelist. Talk about the affirmation of my life. Now my plan is to solve love's most complicated quandaries one novel at a time.

Cover Reveal- Her Journey by Rachael Orman

I'm so excited for this cover reveal, I love this series and Rachael became a favorite author quickly, love her she's awesome. I'll be reviewing this one soon. The cover is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to share my review with you all. 


Her Journey by Rachael Orman
Series: Her # 2
Expected Publication: August 27, 2014

Her Ride (Her Series #1)






He’s exactly what she doesn’t need…
He’s exactly what she shouldn’t want…
He’s exactly what she should stay away from…
But she can't.

After losing her mother, Melia knew her life would never be the same, she just didn’t expect it to be so drastically different. Her mother’s final wish was something that not only changed her life but also the way she lives it. And it put her right in front of a man that angers her as much as he excites her.

Patrick ‘Wrench’ Ryan is president of the Tormented Souls Motorcycle Club. He’s strong, tough, and his word is law, but his sister knows how to get the upper hand with him. So, when she showed up with Melia and told him she’s staying in the club house, it didn’t take much to get him to relent. He tried to play nice, but Melia gets under his skin. 

Things change when the club’s biggest foe escalates their rivalry in an attempt to bring the Tormented Souls President to his knees. It’s up to Patrick to protect his sister and the things most important to her. Will he be able to keep everyone safe? Will Melia get caught in the crossfire? Or will it all be for nothing in the end?




Stay at home mother of two with a passion for reading almost as much as writing. She is often found curled up with her Kindle reading while her children cuddle up on either side 'reading' books of their own. Married for almost ten years to the most wonderful husband and father, she couldn't ask for more out of life. Except maybe to live somewhere not quite as hot as the desert she currently lives in.

Review: Reckless by Priscilla West

Reckless

Reckless by Priscilla West
Series: Reckless # 1
Published: August 4, 2014
ARC provided by author for review
My Rating






Everything about him warned me to stay away.

I’d seen bad boys before, but he had it all and more. The rippling muscles covered in tatts, the piercing eyes hiding dark secrets, the silky voice that could make a girl come with just a whisper . . . 

He was exactly the type of guy that would get me in trouble, but when he jumped off the stage, inked skin glistening with sweat and breathed his seductive words into my ear, I couldn’t resist the temptation.

It was supposed to be the best one-night stand of my life, but fate didn’t let it play out that way. Things happened. I got upset. I got hasty. And worst of all, I got reckless.

After that disaster, I thought it was the last I’d see of him. But what I didn’t know was that I’d started something.

Something that could shatter the very thing I had worked so hard to protect.

I should have known back then that the most seductive things in life are also the most dangerous.

“Everything about him told me to stay away” 





description


This book starts off with Riley witnessing the 'Jax Effect' as she called it, where women fall all over themselves for him, want him, and are practically hypnotized by his presence. Riley is with a friend at a bar and suddenly there is a band announced, the crowd goes crazy so she tries to go to the front row to see the band and what is causing all the ruckus. It was crazy getting to the front, there were women going hysterical, their boyfriends had to hold them back, a girl fainted, it was complete chaos in that bar. So when the band is done, since Jax noticed Riley he asked her to go backstage and I swear she almost got cut by all the crazy girls that were seething because they didn't get picked. When she gets backstage Riley finds out that Jax is an ass, even though he's a rock god, sex on a stick, beautiful specimen of a man. So she's not impressed. I swear the beginning had me so hooked that I wanted to read faster and faster to find out what happened next.

Riley just got her certification on accounting and her assignment is to be the tour accountant for a band called the Hitchcocks, which in turn is Jax's band, she didn't know it was them because at the bar they were announced as 'The Cocks' (clears throat.) Anyways... Riley has to fight against her desire to be with 'Rock Star Sex God' because she isn't there for that, she wants to be professional and it works for some time, until, well, it doesn't, and that's when the story gets even better. We start to see Jax's romantic side, where he is seriously swoon worthy, along with his look, hmm heaven.    

"W-What are you doing?!" - Riley
"Making us even. You wanted higher stakes. Here it is." - Jax
He ripped back the leather flaps, exposing himself. I cup my hand over my mouth.
He wasn't wearing any underwear.

I picked my jaw up off the floor and collected myself.
"This is the opposite of making us even. You humiliated and embarrassed me. But this isn't embarrassing you. It's more like you're flashing me!" - Riley
"Embarrassed or not, I'm naked. You weren't." - Jax

I loved that part, so funny, I can't believe that happened and neither did Riley cause she was in freaking shock, so was I and my jaw dropped too, lol. 

As the story progressed we saw a different side of Jax, he was sweeter and it was unexpected to Riley because he was this larger than life rock star, so she was pleasantly surprised. Getting near the end I was getting nervous because I didn't want things to turn dark and have a really surprising ending, there was still a kind of cliffhanger ending but some things get resolved and I was so grateful. The ending satisfied me and it was badass.

I've read the Wrecked series before I read this book and I love her writing, it's familiar to me and her writing flows so well and I'm completely drawn into her stories. I also recommend the Wrecked series, it's about a super hot fighter.
