Title: You Don’t Know Me

Author: Georgia Le Carre

Release Date: August 19, 2016

You Don't Know Me E-Book Cover

jompsynopsis

Tasha
I knew Noah Abramovich was trouble the first time our eyes locked. I was sixteen that summer. Sitting by the pool eating an ice-cream I can still remember how it melted over my fingers and dripped onto my thighs as I stared back at him. It wasn’t just his Greek god looks, the animalistic Alpha attitude, or his tall, powerful muscled body – it was the aura around him that screamed, Don’t fuck with me.

At sixteen I wanted him with the passion of a woman, but mine was a world of unwritten rules. Rules that are worth more than a man’s life. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that he was everything I could not have.

He never looked at me again, but I watched him from afar. I could tell there were deep secrets that kept his smile hidden. Dark and mysterious he seemed to fear no one, not even my father. A man he should have. One I feared greatly. As the years passed, the afternoon when time stilled became as unreal as a dream.

I am twenty-two now and in six months I will be married to a man my father chose. I will do my duty and bring respectability to my father’s dynasty, but before I give myself to that man, I must have a taste of the forbidden. Just one night with the man of my darkest fantasies, so I don’t lie on my deathbed, and regret that I never reached out and took the one thing I wanted most in life.
But will it heal or destroy me?

Noah.
In the Mafia world, your past is never far behind. If you are careless, it seeps into your future and gets you killed. Just when I had fooled myself into believing I’d stepped away from it all, it suddenly appeared in my office.

Tasha Evanoff: She is what original sin must have looked like. Blonde, beautiful, voluptuous, and with secretive sapphire eyes that see right into my tainted soul.
She comes offering one bite of the red apple.

If I had any sense I’d shut the door on her, and send her back to her father, a psychopath of the highest degree. But that’s not who I am. If the pretty princess has the courage to walk into the lion’s den, I’m sure as fuck not going to pass on a challenge. I’ll take one bite of her apple. Why the fuck wouldn’t I? I’ve been lusting after it for years. Right here, right now, she is in my world, and she’ll damn well play by my rules.
She thinks everything will go back to what it was before, but I know what she doesn’t. You can never have just one night of raw passion. The body will always crave more.
Will she submit to her body’s desires or to her father’s?

jompexcerpt

She reaches out a hand and unbuttons my shirt, exposing my chest. Her pale finger, the nail painted pearly pink, traces the tattoo of a roaring tiger on my chest.

‘Oskal (bared teeth) You were a thief,’ she breathes.

I don’t say anything. My tattoos tell their own tale of bloodshed, violence, and the unspoken moral code of my past. My time of treading a fine line between life and death. The punishment for getting a tattoo you have not earned is severe so they work as my CV, and being the daughter of a mafia king she can read each letter and design like a language.

She undoes the rest of the buttons on my shirt, pulls the shirttails out, and slips it off me. I watch her eyes hungrily take in the width of me, before her eyes alight on the tattoo of an epaulette inked onto my right shoulder.

‘High ranking,’ she whispers.

She rises to her tiptoes and kisses me right on the skull in the middle of the epaulette. It is a gesture of approval. She knows it signifies that I am not, or will ever be a slave to anyone.

I stand as still as a statue when she touches the rose. So many memories come crowding back. No other woman has touched it quite the same way. It is Delilah holding Samson’s hair.

‘You spent your eighteenth birthday in prison,’ she notes. Her voice grave.

Then her finger delicately trails the blade of a dagger. ‘You have taken life.’ She touches the drops of blood as she counts aloud the lives I have taken. ‘One, two, three, four …’ There are more drops, but she doesn’t go on. She looks up at me, our gazes touch, and she exhales a long breath. It sounds like regret or pain.

She walks around the back and looks at the massive tattoo of the Madonna and Child surrounded by saints and angels. In the background a cathedral. It is a thieves’ talisman. I know I am a sinner but protect me, guide me, bring me luck.

‘So … you were a thief from an early age,’ she deciphers. I feel her breath warm on my back.

‘Fifteen,’ I say quietly.

‘Mmmm.’ She lays her palm on my back and I close my eyes at the incredible softness of her skin.

She reads aloud the Russian words. Oh Lord, forgive me for the tears of my mother.

I twist around and grab her wrist. ‘That’s enough.’

Something flashes in her eyes, but it’s not fear.

‘So now you know all about me,’ I say. ‘What is there to know about Tasha Evanoff?’

‘There is only one thing you need to know about me. Tonight I am yours.’

I love to write about strong, possessive, dominant hero’s and sassy, smart heroines. My characters range from hot, dominant billionaires, to strong, powerful gangsters, and all kinds of bad boy’s in between.

I am the bestselling author of the Amazon #1 bestsellers, You Don’t Own Me 1 & 2 (The Russian Don series), the Billionaire Banker series and the Crystal Jake complete Eden series. You’ll find my books packed with thrills, suspense and of course lots, and lots of steam.

I live in a little old 19th century romantic cottage, surrounded by the most magical garden, filled with fruit and walnut trees and teeming with wildlife.

Sadly for me I love all things chocolate and food and have a voracious appetite for Romance reads, particularly new authors with a fresh voice.

When I am not feeding words into Amy, my precious laptop, I can be found lost in a long walk in the woods, particularly on moonlit nights; and often with the man of my dreams.

Cockpit final color boost

synopsis

She’s the one who got away. But I live for the chase…

I’m a thrill seeker. I fly the fastest jets in the world, and ride my motorcycle when I’m on the ground. The only thing that matters to me is speed. Why would I ever think about settling down?

Jenny Reeds, that’s why. One look in those hazel eyes and I found a thrill no dogfight could match. For one wild, unforgettable night, she was mine. I wanted to keep her close but she disappeared without even telling me her last name.

I did my tour and flew combat missions in desert skies. But I never forgot her.

Now they have me pushing papers and training new pilots. I thought I’d be bored to tears. Guess who I run into my first night back?

It’s her, my wild-eyed, fiery-haired beauty. Turns out she’s the General’s daughter. But that won’t stop me. I’m persistent and it doesn’t take too long before she’s back in my arms.

Only one problem. She’s kept one hell of a secret from me. She had a baby while I was overseas. My baby.

Now I want them both under my roof. Permanently. I’ve never failed a mission yet and I don’t intend to start now.

Cockpit is a standalone novel with a guaranteed HEA and no cheating. This edition includes bonus materials and will end before 100%!

excerpt

I sat back and waited for her shift to end, enjoying the memory of the way her luscious body had melted against me. It was getting close to time when she asked me if I wanted anything else. I took my time, staring up and down her body.

“Oh yeah honey, I can think of a lot of things.”

“I’m not a piece of meat, Jagger!”

“No, you’re definitely not a piece of meat. But you do look tender.”

She threw my check at me and turned tail to see to her other tables. I made my last beer count, sipping it slow as molasses until I was the last guy in the place. She started mopping up. She ‘accidentally’ mopped over my boots.

I smiled and stood up, throwing a fifty dollar tip on the table. Her eyes widened. She stared at me as I walked out of the bar.

‘Course I was waiting out front for her when she came out fifteen minutes later.

She stared at me. I stared at her. Then she walked up to me and tossed that fifty dollar bill in my face.

“I’m not for sale, you sonofabitch!”

I looked right at her. She was angry. But she had mistaken my meaning.

“I didn’t say you were.”

“Then what are you doing tipping like that?”

“I took up a seat in your section all night. Seemed fair.”

She stared at me belligerently.

“Well, I’m not taking it.”

“How about a twenty?”

“What are you, a cash machine?”

She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. Her glorious, perfect, mind bending chest. I pulled out a ten and a five.

“Fifteen?”

She yanked the money out of my hand so fast I got rug burn. Then she stomped off. The woman had a pair of legs on her. And she made good use of them.

I was whistling as I followed her home.

Add to Goodreads
The BloggerPenelope Luciano, a virginal wallflower who lives the life of a hermit, has always been overlooked. But everything changes when she trades her quiet night with a book for a rare night out with her friends.

The Hunk 

Jack Goodman, a confident skirt chaser, has always been a womanizer. But everything changes when he meets clumsy Penelope, and their first kiss turns into a night of passion.

When Penelope sneaks out the morning after, neither one expects to see each other again until they are thrown together in unexpected circumstances.

When pride and self-doubt get in the way, it’s up to both the blogger and the hunk to attain their equal footing and find the strength to chase what they really want.

 

Jane Matisse is a professional introvert who began reading romance novels at the age of thirteen. She graduated with a BA in English Literature in 2014 and has been working hard ever since to put her degree to good use. Although it took her two years to finally finish her very first rough draft, she is thrilled to be releasing her debut The Blogger and the Hunk soon. Matisse loves all things Jane Austen, will choose tea over coffee any day, is a Phantom of the Opera aficionado, and has been an avid book blogger since 2013. She currently lives in SoCal with her family and three fur babies: Max, Thumper, and Percy.

 

Shield My Heart (Heaven Hill Book 9)

 

 

 

 

Dalton and Mandy get their turn……

Book 9 in the Heaven Hill Series can be read as a standalone

Daughter
Sister
Mother to be

The Heaven Hill MC has always been a safe place for Mandy Walker. Since being adopted by their President, she and her twin brother have been able to count on them for anything. The ragtag group of men and the women who love them became the family the twins never had.

Having grown up under their protection, she’s finding it hard not to run to them with the problems she has now. One reckless night with her love of more than ten years resulted in one positive pregnancy test.

The problem?

Mandy is faced with a dilemma she never thought she’d fall victim to. Being a single mother, just like her mom was until Liam Walker came into their lives.

Best Friend
Member of the Heaven Hill MC
Terrified of not breaking the cycle of his childhood

Dalton Barnett knew the moment he kissed Mandy’s lips as a teenager that she was the only one for him. Taking her for granted has been easy because she’s always been there. She’s the only person who’s ever given love to him unconditionally.

When a calculated attack devastates Heaven Hill, Dalton, Mandy, and their unborn child are at the epicenter. Dalton must make decisions to keep his small family safe. Before anything worse can happen, he knows he must shield their hearts.

“Amanda Walker was the only woman he’d ever been with,the only woman he’d ever loved,and the only person he’d every truly let into his heart”

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
As a fan of the Heaven Hill MC Series,I was excited to read Mandy and Dalton’s story-from previous books,they have been ‘together’ since teenager’s and now 10 years into their lives the relationship is starting to suffer,mostly down to how Dalton is dealing with it(or not).
Mandy is pregnant,and Dalton’s own fears/insecurities that all come from his childhood issues(parents not the greatest-his Uncle takes on him and his brother) he feels he is not worthy of Mandy or their unborn child.(foolish man!)
Just to add to that,his Uncle’s gambling problem,has resulted in unwanted attention from a character who poses a threat to not only them but the Heaven Hill Club itself! Dalton,thinking he can keep both Mandy and the Club safe,does what he thinks is the right thing to do-and pulls away from them.Everyone in the club knows something is up with both Mandy and Dalton,friendships are tested,the ‘threat’ does affect the club but,thankfully,it is resolved,and in turn Dalton comes to his sense’s and gets his head out of his a** and get the HEA that he and Mandy deserve!

“Everything has been for you” (Dalton)

When reading this,right from the dedication,I felt it an emotional read,the Heaven Hill family have become a favorite,and I am looking forward to the Heaven Hill Christmas,and the next generation (all about the kids)-esp Tatum/Remy 😉

All the Rage by T.M. Frazier 4.5*

 

MyBannerMaker_Banner

30208850.jpg

They call me Rage.
My real name is like a shadow, always close behind, but never quite able to catch up.
I fly under the radar because no one ever suspects I’m capable of the kind of brutal violence I commit each and every day.
You see, I’m a girl. I’m nineteen.
And I’m a killer.
This life is all I know. It’s all I want to know. It keeps the s**t buried that I need kept buried. It allows me to live without thinking too much.
Without dwelling on the past.
Until him.
It all changes when an ordinary boy becomes my next target.
And my first love.
I have to choose.
The only life I’ve ever known has to die, or he does.
Either way, I’ll be the one pulling the trigger…

All the Rage is a STANDALONE

4.5* RHR Read

*I kindly received an Arc in exchange for an honest review*

“The only thing Nolan Archer would need saving from…was me.”

As a big fan of Ms Frazier, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one. Rage was introduced to us in Soulless and I was immediately intrigued by her quirky personality.

For Rage is a very complex character who lacks empathy for others. She is also menacingly unstable, sadistic and surprisingly likeable given her job description, however, everything she thinks she knows about herself is brought into question when she meets the complicated Nolan Archer.

The chemistry between them is evident and Nolan immediately sets out to prove to a reluctant Rage exactly where she belongs…with him.

Although this book was a little slower to get into than her previous offerings, things eventually do heat up and explode in typical T. M. fashion and there are plenty trademark ‘WTF’ moments to keep the reader on the edge of their seat.

For me this book only just fell short of the five stars I usually find myself giving this author but it by no means packs any less of a punch than other books in her back catalogue. I will no doubt be picking it up again in the near future for a reread while I’m waiting on the book that all of her fan’s are desperate for.

Elysium by J.J. Harper

Elysium (Reunion, #3)

 

 

 

‘I haven’t met someone and fallen in love,I’ve gotten the only man I ever loved back after 10 damn long years,I’ve got my man back‘ (Nico)

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review,having read the previous two books ,I was interested in seeing how Ryan and Nico’s story would go and if they would get their HEA.

This picks up from where ‘Reunited’ finished,Ryan and Nico have returned to where Nico lived.Troy is as ever the ‘Diva’ and is happy for Nico to have ‘his man’ back in his life. There is drama in the form of Lyle (Nico’s ex-well one night stand really),which leads to slight misunderstanding/insecurities coming to light from Ryan’s perspective-which does get resolved fairly quickly-I did feel that throughout the story,Ryan and Nico were ‘at it like rabbits! this book does have a fair bit of very explicit sex scenes-and yes they were HOT,but for me,perhaps one too many,however,it didn’t put me off reading as the character’s are likeable and you do get the feeling that after all the time apart,its simply making up for those years without each other.

Now there is also the matter of a secret from Ryan’s past which does add to the storyline,and from about 75% onwards this comes to light and Ryan has to deal with the situation-there are other characters introduced which are from another series by this author(and as a result I am interested in reading their stories-yet more to add to my TBR list!)
I don’t want to give all that much more as regards to the past of Ryan,as if I did it would give way too much away.

I did enjoy the Epilogue,as it does end well for both Ryan and Nico,and the series as a whole is one that I would and will read again,and that is all down to the writing.

‘You are my heaven,Nico,my nirvana,my Elysium’(Ryan)
