*Review copy received*
‘I craved a connection,someone to make me forget,and so far I’d come up empty.'(Brad)
‘The Scars and pieces that are left behind from our past lead us to a future that can be whatever we want it to be.’(Colton-Brad)

This M/M story,another in the ‘Trade Me’ Collection was enjoyable,with the book blurb giving enough away to hook the reader,it is told in dual POV,which I love,both leads dealing with their own issues,one of tragic circumstances,there is an instant attraction when they both meet for the first time,the story moves along with some added drama/angst moments and I would have liked it to have been a bit longer,or with an Epilogue,as I did feel it a bit rushed towards the end,however,as I said I did enjoy it,and it is the second in this collection that I have had the privilege of reading and introduced to another new author to me.

Synopsis:

 

They say age is nothing but a number.

 

Lucas Rockwell isn’t just ten years younger than me, he’s my deceased
husband’s son.

 

Tainted by secrets, everything about us is wrong and forbidden.

 

Like fire and gasoline, we’re an explosion waiting to happen.

 

We’re tempting fate with every touch

 

EXCERPT

 

A hand on my arm stirs me from my deep musings. “Lucas, are you okay?”

My head turns and I find Charlotte standing beside me. The first thing I
notice are her large tits and how close they are to touching my arm. If I
shift a fraction of a step to the side I could feel them press against me.
My eyes move up over her delicate collarbones. I want to place a kiss
between them and then lick my way up her graceful neck until I reach her
red mouth. Fuck me. She has the mouth of a fucking porn star. I wonder if
she sucks dick like one?

“Lucas.” She rubs my arm, pulling me back to the present.

My eyes leave her enticing lips and raise up to meet her enthralling blues
and I finally find my voice. “Yeah, I’m fine.” I turn to face her, our
gazes never breaking contact. With her heels she stands only a few inches
shorter than my six foot one inch frame and the tips of her breasts are
pointing at my chest. Being this close to her has my dick hard. I’ve never
had such a strong reaction to a woman before. A few seconds in her company
and my cock’s ready and waiting.

“Can I get you anything?” she asks, rubbing my arm again.

That’s a loaded question if I ever heard one.

“I don’t know. Can you?”

Her hand falls from my arm. “If you want something, I’ll get it for you.”

I inch forward until her tits are touching my chest. Her eyes go wide. “I
want a lot of things Charlie.” I let my hand caress over the curve of her
hip down to the top of her ass as I reach behind her to pick up the refill
the waitress placed there for me a few minutes ago. I take a step back,
lifting the drink toward my mouth. “Right now I just want another beer.” My
lips close around the bottle and I take a large gulp. Jesus. I need a cold
shower after being this close to her.

Her porn star lips open in a silent oh at my reply. She flashes me a tight
smile and looks down at the diamond encrusted Rolex on her wrist. “The limo
will be here in twenty minutes to pick us up.”

I nod my head before tipping back the beer. If I drink this one straight
down I’ll have time for one more.

Charlotte takes a dainty step back still looking at me and then pivots
around to walk back into the reception room. My eyes follow her, locked on
the generous curves of her ass. Fuck. I no longer need to wonder or
speculate about what my father saw in her. It’s the same thing every red
blooded guy sees when he looks at her. SEX. Between her large rack, her
full lips and her heart shaped ass, I don’t know which I’d like to bite
more. But I’d sure like to find out

‘I maybe younger than you,but mature enough to see that there’s no denying this attraction between us’(Lucas)

I received a copy to review…and Holy ****!!
This M/F Author Duo collaboration is the first of many (I would think),it’s a Short,HOT read with the synopsis venturing into the ‘Taboo‘,which,yes has been done before(the usual Step-Sibling-usually a brother/forbidden love tale),this a bit of a twist as it’s Step-Mother/with younger step-son-with the added 10 year age gap-she’s 28 to his 18!
As the blurb gives away,he (Lucas) is the son of her (Charlotte) dead Husband-a son she knew NOTHING about! and following from their first meeting,in the car on the way to the funeral no less,the instant attraction felt between them builds and the inevitable happens…Now,as far as that goes..OMG they are HOT an Heavy…let’s not be surprised by this-it is an Erotic piece,and the writing reflects that OH YES INDEED!….told in DUAL POV’s, there are also secrets/lies which leads to misunderstandings and,if I’m honest,I felt a slight contradiction in Lucas’s side(he claimed not to have really known his father..’My Father,who I never really got a chance to know and now I’ll never have the opportunity’-yet later he was going into business with him?)-tho in the grand scheme of all things Erotica-Who really will be bothered! LOL…It is what it is,and this Author Collaboration-writing as one,will be interesting,and,probably ‘will increase the HEAT’ with whatever they have planned next…and I can’t wait! 😉

‘Sometimes it takes a close ear to the ground and a finger on the pulse of the village to really listen to the information you’re being told’(Julia South)

I received a copy for review.

This is a new genre from a favorite M/M Author of mine…written under their ‘new alter-ego’ of Agatha Frost! I don’t usually go for ‘cozy mysteries’,but I have to say this first book was brilliant,I got sucked in to the story quickly,the writing flowed well,character’s introduced that helped form the picture of the little village setting-where there is always more to what’s going on,with twists and turns,secrets and gossip,humor,intrigue….and murder!! The cover is very appealing-(it reminded me of the ‘Agatha Raisin’ stories that my mum loved to read)and the whole concept is well executed…I haven’t gone into any great detail as to what happens,as anything would act as a spoiler-and you should just experience it for yourselves!
Congratulations ‘Agatha Frost’on your first venture-can’t wait for more!

*NOW LIVE:Call Me Daddy by Jade West*




Title: Call Me Daddy 
Author : Jade West
Genre: Erotic, Romance,  
Cover: RBA Designs 
 
 

 

 

 
I want him to be my first.
I want him to be the one.
I want him to be my everything.
I didn’t expect to spend my eighteenth birthday stranded in the pouring rain with no way to make it home. 
I didn’t expect to be rescued from the worst night of my life by the most amazing man I’d ever seen.
His name is Nick, and he says he wants to take care of me, says he’ll look after me, says I don’t need to be alone anymore.
He treats me like a princess, like the fragile little girl he saved from the cold. 
But I like him… I like him like that. 
I’ve never liked anyone like that before…
And it’s weird, this thing we have… 
It’s like I can’t decide how we’re supposed to be… what we are… 
Until he says the words…
Call me Daddy.
Warning.
If Daddy smut is your kink, dive right in. If not, this definitely, definitely is not the book for you.
You have been warned. 
I don’t issue this warning lightly. 😀


 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Jade has increasingly less to say about herself as time goes on, other than the fact she is an author, but she’s happy with this fact. 

Living in imaginary realities and having a legitimate excuse for it is really all she’s ever wanted. 
Jade is as dirty as you’d expect from her novels, and talking smut makes her smile. 
She lives in the Herefordshire countryside with a couple of hounds and a guy who’s able to cope with her inherent weirdness. 

 

She has a red living room, decorated with far more zebra print than most people could bear and fights a constant battle with her addiction to Coca-Cola.

jompsynopsis

Some fairy tales start after midnight.

The crown prince and I have nothing in common.

He’s a rugged, battle-hardened soldier who spent four years in the Royal Guard, an elite military unit. I met the King and Queen for the first time wearing leggings and a sweatshirt.

He’s the serious, quiet, straight-laced heir to the throne, and I accidentally got drunk at a formal dinner.

But there’s the way he looks at me, eyes blazing with hunger. Like he knows every dirty thought I’ve had about him – and he likes them. There’s the way my pulse skyrockets every time his hand brushes mine.

I’m the ambassador’s daughter. I know better than to mess around with a foreign head of state.

But I don’t know how long I can resist.

Not all princes are charming.

I spent years in the Royal Guard, our most elite military unit, fighting like hell so I could rule one day – not so I could give my father an heir with some well-bred rich girl.

I have a f*cking country to run. My love life can take a back seat. It’s not like I’ve ever met a girl I had to have.

Until her. The ambassador’s daughter. She’s so… American. Lowborn, brash, wildly unsuitable… and gorgeous.

I’m disciplined, tough as hell, and I don’t f*ck around. But I can’t stop thinking about the way she laughs, about how she might taste. My father’s threatening to strip me of my title if I touch her, but she makes me want to break every one of my own rules.

F*ck titles. F*ck rules. F*ck my father’s threats. I want her. I need her.

She’s mine.

Reign is a 90,000 word, 350-page, full-length standalone novel with some seriously explicit scenes and a happily-ever-after ending.

“Give me your other hand,” she commands softly.

I do it, and her light but firm fingers work it over, checking for damage.

“I’ve gotten in fights before, you know,” I say. “I’ve made it this far.”

“Kostya, shut up and let me do something after you probably saved my life,” she says.

“That’s no way to speak to a prince.”

“Then throw me in a dungeon,” she says, and her eyes flick up to mine, a teasing smile around them.

“I told you, we don’t do that anymore,” I say.

I let her hands go and slide my thumb along the line of her jaw, completely unable to stop myself.

“Now, we let the barbarians come through the front door and smoke pot on the roof,” I say.

Her hand is on my side now, her eyes wide and deep brown.

“I’m civilized,” she whispers.

“Are you sure?” I ask, letting my voice drop. “I like barbarians.”

“Anyone who enjoys a tight and intelligent plot with many unexpected twists and turns, on top of a deliciously angst-riddled and heat-infused romantic connection, will love SE Cooper’s debut novel; Silhouette” ~ Freya Barker, Award-winning Author

“SE had me hooked from page 1 right up until the last page. She kept me guessing along the way and the OMG moments were brilliant” ~ DL Gallie, Author of The Liquor Cabinet series

“Daddy, what is a white lie?”
My father put down his spoon and looked at me thoughtfully.“Why’d you ask, Princess?”
“I heard you talking yesterday and you said ‘one more white lie isn’t going to make a difference.’ I just wanted to know what you meant.”
“You heard that, huh?” My father tilted his head to study me. “It’s just a small lie you tell when you don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. It’s nothing for you to worry about.”
My eyes grew wide. “Like when you told Aunt Rena her pie was good even though it tasted icky?”
“Exactly.” My father smiled.
“Or when you told that man last week that you hadn’t seen Uncle Bruno and you had?”
The smile fell from his face and he straightened in his chair. “No, Princess, that was a different kind of lie.”
Scrunching up my nose, I asked, “What kind of lie was that?”
My father swallowed hard before replying. “That’s the kind of lie where you have to have a real good memory.”
Clarissa Solano could never have known, as an inquisitive child, how significant those words would become. That she would spend years twisting the truth: hoping and praying that she would not contradict herself and expose the secrets she keeps locked inside.
Most of the people in her life don’t really know her at all. She forces them to swallow her lies, but she is the one who feels the bitter aftertaste of deception.
When Lane Hunter sweeps into her life, she finds herself opening up in ways she never thought possible. He sees beyond the facade to the woman beneath and knows instantly that he wants her. However, all is not as it seems and when secrets and lies are exposed, it threatens to destroy them all.
