Rick "Ricochet" Brennan served eight years as an elite Marine special ops Force Recon soldier. After an injury, and the terrible memories from that night, he retires and goes to work for his former Command Officer, Howard "Mack" McEvoy, at his training center in Atlanta.

Sanctum MMA appears on the surface to be a normal gym, training elite fighters to be the best. Except each trainer, hand-picked by Mack, possesses a special background that allows Mack to run one of the best-kept secrets in the country.

When twenty-three year old Quinn Wallace finally escapes her abusive husband, she turns to her father’s old Marine Corps buddy, Mack, for help. Broken and skittish, Quinn finds herself surrounded by large, intimidating men— men who could easily overpower her. She avoids them the best she can, but when Rick turns out to be more than just a rough fighter with bruised knuckles, she finds herself wondering if she can allow herself to trust again.

Excerpt 

  “Law breaker? Hardly,” she scoffed. “I just don’t want to go through the trouble to get a license and then have to change my…” The conversation came to an abrupt halt. Quinn looked up at Rick slack-mouthed, with discernible fear in her wide eyes.

      “Change? Change what?”

      She waved a shaky hand in the air dismissively. “Nothing. I don’t know what I was saying.”

      Rick knew she was lying. He didn’t even need the extensive interrogation training he received in the Marines to see the blatant lie.

      What in the hell is she hiding from me?

      He was getting damn sick of the evasiveness and the games that Quinn played. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the time or the place to get into an argument with her and he promised that he wouldn’t push her to discuss things. Rick silently seethed, clenching his hands under the table.

      The rest of the meal was finished quickly. Neither of them touched on subjects other than safe, impersonal ones, sports, traffic, and the weather.

      Fuck! I’m sitting here discussing the mother fucking weather while the girl I love slips through my fingers.

      Love? A bolt of fear shot through Rick’s heart, jump starting it until it was pumping erratically against his chest.

      I love her?

      Rick mulled it over as they drove back to Quinn’s apartment, turning it over in his mind a hundred different ways with no clear answer. He walked her up the stairs, waiting for her to unlock the door. As he stood there watching her, the sun glinting off of the golden highlights in her dark hair, it finally hit him, sucking the air from his lungs.

      Without a doubt, I fucking love her.

      Quinn opened the door, turning to say good-bye. This time, Rick wasn’t going to let her push him away. There would be no more keeping him at arm’s length. He loved her, and he wasn’t going to give up. Pride be damned, he’d fucking grovel on his knees if that’s what it took.

      Rick inhaled a deep breath and moved into the apartment, forcing Quinn to step back so he could fit through the doorway.

      “Rick, what—”

      Done with the bullshit dance they’d been doing, he silenced Quinn by crushing his mouth over hers, spinning them until her back hit the partially open door, slamming it closed. Rick pressed his weight against her, pinning her soft body against the thick slab of wood as he dominated her, thrusting his denim-covered cock against her abdomen. He could sense the exact moment Quinn stopped fighting, giving herself over to the pleasure. Her tense muscles relaxed and her mouth joined in, yet she allowed Rick to control the kiss.

      Lips and teeth mashed together brutally, Rick’s tongue plunging into the depths of her mouth. This wasn’t a gentle kiss meant to be romantic. No, it was a rough display of possessiveness, of pent up desire. It was all of Rick’s love and anguish coming out in one overwhelming display of need and power.

      He slid his arms around Quinn’s waist, gripping her round backside and pressing his fingers deep into the soft flesh. He tugged her hips forward, grinding their groins together almost painfully. Quinn moaned into Rick’s mouth, her desperate sounds acting like gasoline on the fire roaring through his body.

“Fuck, doll.”

Daddy Knows Best by Vincent Drake - Cover Reveal - *Taboo Erotica Genre*

Title: Daddy Knows Best 

Author: Vincent Drake 

Genre : Erotica

*Warning - although this novella is entirely consensual, it contains sexual practices some readers may find offensive. It is a step-romance containing punishment and discipline, double penetration, group sex and some arguably seedy roleplay. All characters are responsible adults, but please read at your own risk. Most certainly 18+*

"You've been a very, very, naughty girl, Georgia Catherine Tate." 

Spoiled little rich girl, Georgia, has it all. Showered in gifts by a jet setter mother who's never home, her pretty little ass has received far too much kissing, and far too little spanking. 

But that's all about to change… 


Andrew Priestley may be saintly by name, but certainly not by nature. When marrying Cynthia Tate to a backdrop of sun, sea and sangria after a holiday romance, he wasn't aware that living with her petulant 20 year old daughter would drive him quite so close to insanity. 

He'll teach Georgia some manners, and he'll teach her good. 

Spare the rod and spoil the child, that's what Andrew Priestley believes. And after all... Daddy knows best.

Vincent Drake loves nothing more than a decent scotch and the pretty pink blush on a submissive's backside. A real life dom, with over ten year's experience in bondage and discipline, he's hoping the reading public will enjoy his stories as much as he enjoys crafting them.

First in the new Silver Valley series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Reapers Motorcycle Club Novels.

Fourteen months. For fourteen months, Puck Redhouse sat in a cell and kept his mouth shut, protecting the Silver Bastards MC from their enemies. Then he was free and it was time for his reward--full membership in the club, along with a party to celebrate. That's when he saw Becca Jones for the first time and set everything in motion. Before the night ended he'd violated his parole and stolen her away from everything she knew.

Five years. It was five years ago that Puck destroyed Becca and saved her all in one night. She's been terrified of him ever since, but she's even more terrified of the monsters he still protects her from... But Becca refuses to let fear control her. She's living her life and moving forward, until she gets a phone call from the past she can't ignore. She has to go back, and there's only one man she can trust to go with her--the ex-con biker who rescued her once before.

Puck will help her again, but this time it'll be on his terms. No more lies, no more tears, and no more holding back what he really wants...

Excerpt

Ignoring him, I settled back on my stool and surveyed the room. We sat in Becca’s section, and what I saw wasn’t making me happy. I knew she was a good waitress, but she’d just started here and it showed. Not only had she fucked up several orders, she didn’t quite seem to get the rhythm of the bar. That wasn’t my problem, though.

My problem was that despite these fuckups, nobody seemed to mind. I had a nasty suspicion this was due to her perky tits, friendly smile, and tight little ass that seriously just needed a bite taken right out of it.

She really, really needed to get a new job—every man in the place wanted her. Including me. Especially me. I hated them. All of them. I shifted uncomfortably, because just like every time I shared a room with her, my pants had gotten tight.

Torture. Becca was just so fucking fine on every level, and not just her looks. There was something about the way she carried herself . . . I couldn’t put my finger on it. Like she was dancing through life to some song nobody else could hear. Never met another woman like her—she wasn’t just sexy, she was a survivor and I admired that.

She’d grown up so much since the first time I’d met her. Bigger boobs, a nice fullness to her ass that was nowhere close to fat but would be perfect to hold tight while I fucked her. Her lips had plumped, too, and over the years she’d gained a sparkle in her eyes that turned her from pretty to 100 percent spectacular.

Not to mention how she’d tasted.

Nearly blew in my pants when I’d taken that mouth. Just the memory got me hard. Make that harder. Fucking basket case.

When I’d pulled up to find her sitting outside with Collins, a thousand murder scenarios ran through my mind. And yeah, I know I covered that already, but if anything ever deserved empha- sis, this was it. Collins needed to die. I didn’t care how nice he was. After that I’d throw Becca on the back of my bike and make a run for the hills . . .

Okay, so there were a few problems with the plan, the top one being she hated me. Or she should—I’d certainly given her cause. Boonie nudged me.

“Did I mention you’re pathetic? You want her, take her. Other- wise let it go because you’re an embarrassment to all men in general and to the Silver Bastards in particular.”

My Review: 

Silver Bastard (Silver Valley #1) Joanna Wylde 

Puck Redhouse spent fourteen months in jail to protect the Silver Bastards MC from their enemies. There was never any question for him, he would die to protect his brothers a little time in prison was nothing. When he was free though it was time to get his reward for his loyalty, full membership and a party, including lots of booze and beautiful women for Puck to get lost in that is when he laid eyes on Becca Jones. She was sweet and innocent soft in all the right places exactly the fantasy girl that kept him sane while he was away. Little did he know his attraction would nearly cause him to go back to prison and having had a taste of Becca he would never be the same. He rescues her, protects her, loves her from afar, but in the end he knows he won’t be able to live without her. Now all he has to do is convince Becca that he is the man she needs.

“You need to get this straight, Becca.” Puck said slowly. “You’re mine. You seem to think that’s still up for debate- it’s not.” I’ve claimed you and the club agreed. That’s how it works in my world. End of story.”

Once again, Joanna Wylde hits it out of the park with this first installment of her new Silver Valley series. Though the book does have plenty of hot bikers to keep our hearts pounding, the new characters she introduces us to as the residents of Silver Valley promise to take us on a wild ride.

In this book, we get to know Puck Redhouse who we met in Reapers Stand. Puck and Painter serve fourteen months together and they develop a strong bond. I have to say the prologue seriously starts with a bang, my mouth literally dropped open at the end. Joanna really knows how to get a reader hooked.

"Like she was dancing through life to some song nobody else could hear. Never met another woman like her-she wasn't just sexy, she was a survivor and I admired that."

This book is dark, gritty and violent at times, Becca’s situation is not a good one when we meet her. Puck saves her and she starts a new life in Callup, Idaho, he watches out for her from afar but leaves her to her life. However, when Becca needs him Puck is there to lend a hand, though this time it’s on his terms. He knows she is attracted to him, they certainly have a history, but she’s skittish Puck is a big bad biker. Becca’s experiences with biker’s have not been good ones. Puck has his work cut out for him throughout the book convincing her that he is the one she should spend her life with, but Becca wants to live a normal life not an “MC” life like her mother.  Becca has a temper and when she and Puck fight its explosive, anticipate hot angry sex.

“I like playing rough Becca you push as hard as you want.”

Puck stole my heart in Reaper’s Stand I liked him then and I loved him in Silver Bastard, he has a dirty mouth and a dirtier mind I loved it. Becca was a broken young girl who turned into a strong young woman, but her scars ran deep and it would take a lot of healing for Becca being able to let a man in. She had a hard enough time letting her friends in, Danielle does a good job of breaking Becca’s barriers I really liked her. I loved the characters of Blake and Danielle and I hope we get to see more of them in the series. The other characters of Silver Valley, we meet like Shane and Rourke had me wondering what their deal is can’t wait to get their stories.

 It's not an easy road for these two passionate, sometimes angry characters to get together. The story was an up and down emotional journey. Becca’s mom is a psycho and puts that poor girl through so much pain I wanted to stab her myself.

Some of our favorites from the Reaper MC books show up like Picnic and London. Painter is having a huge crisis when it comes to Melanie. I never thought I would want Painter’s story, but Joanna made me love him.

When I read a Joanna Wylde book, I always know I will get a full story with characters that jump off the page. These groups of people in Callup, Idaho are no exception. I anxiously anticipate more from them.

The action in Joanna’s stories keeps you on the edge of your seat. Words like thrilling, exciting and non-stop drama run through my head as I read her books. Her female characters are strong and sometimes a little crazy. Her male characters are alpha protective to a fault, gritty, no nonsense type guys that hook you in and don’t let go.

This turned out to be an excellent start to a new Joanna Wylde series, Fathomless is next I believe and if the bonus epilogue in Silver Bastard is any indication it will be a damn good story.

Dance for Me by J.C. Valentine -Release Day Blitz and ARC Review

Dance for Me

by: J.C. Valentine

Forbidden #1

Publication Date: April 7, 2015

Genres: Contemporary, Romance

Amazon - Nook - Kobo - iBooks

Synopsis:

WARNING: Dance for Me is the first book in a trilogy and ends with a cliffhanger. Due to mature material, it is recommended for ages 17+.

What if the person who stole your heart wasn't who you thought they were?

When my parents passed away, I grew up fast. Learning to stand on my own two feet has been a challenge, but I'm making it... my way. I make no apologies for the path I've chosen. My choices have served me well, but no one knows the real me.

Except one man.

He's a mystery to me. He's controlling, demanding, and he has me wrapped around his little finger. Anything he wants, I'll give it to him. The hours we share together aren't about love. It's just sex. Hot, dirty, passionate sex. It was never supposed to be anything more than that.

Until everything changed.

Now, I'm more confused than ever. The more I learn about him, the less I seem to understand. What I do know is that I'm falling, and I have the feeling when I land, it's going to hurt.

Dance for Me by J.C. Valentine




Just when Josephine “Joe” Hart thought, she found a bit of happiness in her life, it all comes tumbling down, leaving her to put the pieces of her heart back together.

Josephine has been through a lot in her young life by the time she turns eighteen she has lost both her parents and has no other family. She is alone on her own; she will do what it takes to survive and to follow her dreams. If that means stripping to make ends meet and pay for her college, then so, be it. She never expected to fall for anyone that was not in her plans. Her mystery man takes her on the most sensual ride of her life for filling sexual fantasies she didn’t even know she had. The sex is hot, dirty, and passionate but it’s just sex. Until real lives are exposed and feelings shared, things become complicated. He wants her, but he has secrets she wants him, but she has secrets. What happens when you find out the man you had decided to give everything to your mind, body and soul turns out not to be the man you thought he was?

My Review:

Oh, my I cannot say enough about this book. Let me start with hot, dirty sex in all kinds of places. This is not what I have grown to expect from J.C. Valentine. I have read a few of her books and this one goes in a completely different direction. The male character is a mystery from the beginning to the end, even when a huge twist is revealed in the cliffhanger we still don’t know what he his deal is. Yes, there is a cliffhanger and it's okay because J.C. Valentine warns us from the beginning this is a three part series so we have to expect a cliffhanger. Did I expect this one, Hell NO! I did not! Holy cow, what a crazy story this turned out to be!

Josephine has issues no question, she loses her mother at a young age to cancer her father falls apart after and Joe is left to take care of him until his death when she is eighteen. Not a great life so far for our heroine, so it's not surprising that her life choices are a little off. She’s a stripper, and in her profession, she meets all kinds of men. One day one of them propositions her and she starts on a sexual adventure that blows her mind. Secrets come to light, hearts are broken and confused. I don’t want to give away too much of the story because I absolutely hate spoilers. Therefore, I will say this is a very well written story that kept my attention from the very first dance and continued to keep it until the last. The sex scenes are steamy, sensual, and sometimes emotional. The male character is an arrogant jerk sometimes and a sort of decent guy the next, but the mystery he projects makes us care about who he is or could be. Josephine has a lot to work out by the end of this first installment and I can’t wait to find out where the author will take us.
