I love you. I love you. I love you.â He inhaled sharply, but said in an even voice. âAnd I canât lose you before the greatest fight I will ever wage.â Redemption. Could I absolve him? I lay in a hospital bed for two weeks. All of it at his hands. Iâd been marred, though the scar on my skin was not the worst damage. It was a reminder of the scar Iâd carried inside. Could he erase that scar? Could he heal a wound one could not see? There was silence, deafening silence. I tried to keep it together. I used every ounce of energy I had to keep the fire at a low flame, but it blazed through me. He wouldâve shot my kid, and I couldnât let that happen. These kids, theyâd become my lifeline. My light. âWithout those kids, Iâm just as dark as you.â I said emotionlessly, empty. These last few weeks of pretending during the day, only to come home and sob until sleep graced me was maddening. âIâve got nothing left to give you, J. Nothing.â I hung my head, losing the fight with the tears that had been threatening to erupt since J arrived. âI canât be your light, when I have none.â We lay on the floor, two damaged bodies searching for the light. J pulled my head into his hands, bringing us face to face. I could feel his breath against my lips. âYou were a comet that bust into my life out of no whereâ he whispered. âI begged for you. On my knees in the dirt, I groveled to the sky to bring me light. And there you were, at Eight Oh Eight, staring up at me, even though I knew you couldnât see through the window. I saw you, though. Elle, I saw you long before you saw me.â âHow could I love a killer?â âHow much pain was worth loving this man? âPlease, baby. Please. I need you. I love you. I canât go into this without knowing youâll be here when I return.â âIâm not sure what to say. I want to tell you Iâll wait. That Iâll be here, waiting like a good girl for you. I want to because I love you. Fuck, I love you.â I turned, finally ready to look him in the eye. âI donât know where Iâll be. I canât tell you that. But I can tell you that I love the fuck out of you, and no matter how much I try to stop,â I paused. Fuck this mother fucker. Fuck! God, why was he doing this to me? Angry tears, sad tears, hopeless tears, tears filled with longing fell from my eyes. J caught then with his thumb, but there were too many. They ran over his fingers like a waterfall. âFuck, J. I donât want you to die.â He pulled me to him, and I inhaled his scent. Iâd never be able to smell Acqua di mother fucking Gio again and not think of him. Today it was mixed with the smell of exhaust, like heâd been riding around all night. For what felt like the gazillionth time, I crumbled into his arms. How did two times come to be a number exponentially higher? âI donât want to die, baby. I want to fall asleep next to you. I want to wake up next to you. Iâm fighting this war for you. To be with you.â Teasers (place your choice of teasers here) Author BioEmily is a Midwestern Gal, but could be anywhere as you read this. She gypsy's the country, as well as south of the border.

I have no idea why, snooping didn't exactly do me any favors the last time. There are a few more doors down here, one door is slightly open and I can tell it's a pool room. There are three pool tables spread around and I find the reason behind the noise. I've only ever been with one man at a time, in fact I've only ever been with douche-bag, but this girl has three. My brain races with the possibilities of what three men could do to my body. After reading so many erotica books I’ve certainly fantasized about the things I’ve read, but it’s nothing compared to actually seeing it happen right in front of you. Where I’m standing is dark, so even if they look up… they won’t be able to see me. At least I hope not! The woman is naked, legs spread wide and laying on her back on the table. One man has his head buried between her thighs, another thrusting his cock deep in her mouth at the edge of the table, and the third is licking her nipples from the other side. The sight is highly erotic and I'm immediately turned on. My eyes widen when they stop, flipping the girl over, dragging her down the table so one of the men can sit at its edge with her straddling his lap. The others take their positions, one behind her, the other standing above them all, giving the girl perfect access to his hard cock. Her moan fills the room as the three enter her, bumping and thrusting. I fight my own hands, biting on my lip. I am so turned on right now, I don't know what to do with myself. I think about running back to my room and taking care of myself, but I can't turn my eyes away from the scene acting out in front of me. I catch movement to my side, shocked to see Angel glaring at me. "Like what you see?" I stare wide eyed, I don't know what to say. I'm embarrassed he's caught me watching. He curses, looking back to the foursome. The girl’s moaning becomes louder and I step back. I'm still turned on, my underwear is soaked, even though I'm ashamed at being caught watching. Angel looks at me, snickering before storming into the room. What the fuck is he doing?Amazon US: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JAPU9NE Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JAPU9NE Amazon AU: http://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00JAPU9NE K.T FisherI love reading, it's my favourite hobby.

T's approach to life has been somewhat unconventional. Rather than going to University, she jumped on a plane to Los Angeles, USA in search of adventure. While this first trip left her somewhat underwhelmed and largely depleted of funds it fueled her appetite for travel and life experience. With a rather eclectic resume, which reads more like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history, T struggled to find her niche in the world.</ p> While on a subsequent trip the United States in 1999, T met and married her husband. Their whirlwind courtship and interesting impromptu convenience store wedding set the tone for their life together, which is anything but ordinary. They have lived in Louisiana, Guam and Australia and have travelled extensively throughout the US. T has two beautiful young children and one four legged child, Woodley the wonder dog. An avid reader, T became increasingly frustrated by the lack of strong female characters in the books she was reading. She wanted to read about a woman she could identify with, someone strong, independent and confident who didn't lack femininity. Out of this need, she decided to pen her first book, A Twist of Fate. She enjoyed the process so much that when it was over she couldn't let it go. T loves to travel, laugh and surround herself with colourful characters. This inevitably spills into her writing and makes for an interesting journey - she is well and truly enjoying the ride! Based on her life experiences, T has plenty of material for her books and has a wealth of ideas to keep you all enthralled. T self-published her first novel through Smashwords, is about to release her second novel on the same platform and is currently writing the third book in the Lexi Trilogy.

This was a hard book to review as there wasn't anything I didn't really like but there was nothing I loved either. The characters and plot were all okay but nothing really grabbed my attention. This is the third book in the series and picks up from a few months after Lexi and Alex tied the knot after she left the hospital after she was attacked. I did like Lexi in this story. She was so strong to overcome everything that happened to her and when she started believing in herself again her feisty personality shone through and she became stronger than ever moving forward and leaving the past behind. I also liked Alex, he is what a husband should be. Sexy, protective, caring, funny, loving. You can't fault him and his love for Lexi is so sweet if at times a little over bearing but I don't blame him at all considering everything that's happened to her. Overall the plot was okay. There was no one thing the plot was based on. It touched upon several but never really developed them. For example the tour, the 'offer', Lexi overcoming the past. They were all just touched upon and I feel if these story lines had been developed a lot more it would have made the story more interesting and kept me hooked as there was potential for some great story lines. The very ending definitely felt rushed for me but it was a happy ending which is nearly always a must for me so it was a good ending, just needed a little more detail I think. Overall I didn't love this story but I did like it. There was potential for more I believe and I did enjoy the overall of the story and will look out for new books from this author.

Prologue As I lie on my hospital bed, I can barely breathe, even with the oxygen tube turned on high; my heart is on its last beats. I never thought that, as a fifteen-year-old kid, I would be dying. It's only been eight months since I heard the diagnosis of viral cardiomyopathy heart disorder. My heart was damaged so badly that, on the day of the diagnosis, they only gave me a short time to live and put me on a heart donor list. We all know that heart donor list can take a long time, but time isn't what I have right now. Both of my parents are with me and won't leave me because the doctor told them I might not make it through the night. So we are all just waiting for me to die. The doctor just came back to check on me, but he seems to be happy about something. I'm glad he can still be happy even though I'm barely breathing and my heart has almost stopped beating. *Breathe* I keep telling myself. He is telling my parents something and they are smiling and looking at me. I'm glad they are smiling; I haven't seen them smile in a while. Maybe he told them a funny joke or something. *Just breathe, Alexia,* I tell myself, *and hang on*. You can do it. The pain is so bad that it is hard to hang on. I really don't want to die at age fifteen without knowing what the world has to offer. I only just started this life, and now I'm going to die. As I look up, a group of nurses and more doctors come in. This must mean I'm going to really die in an only a few minutes for sure, since have everyone is doing so much to my body. My doctor, Dr. Wright, comes over and listens to my heart, before he looks at me with a big smile. Dr. Wright tells me that I'm going to surgery; I have a donor heart waiting on me. I stare at him and can't believe that what he is saying is true. You have to wait for a donor heart with a perfect match for years, so that means it can't be true. I know I'm in shock. Then they wheel my bed out of the room and into the operating room. Is all I can remember.</ p> </ a>

The night was cool and thick as it sheathed me in total darkness. The satin shorts and camisole that I’d gone to bed in were now damp from the moisture hanging heavily in the air. Holding my hands in front of my body, I blindly wandered around in blackness as I tried to find some kind of clue that would give me a better picture. My bare feet told me that I was standing on soft ground, the tall grass tickling my calves as I moved. It was possible that I was in a large pasture, though the clean, crisp scent of the air let me know that no large animals were near. Thunder cracked in the distance and the ominous, coal-black clouds had even chased the moon and stars into hiding, not even the faintest glow giving away their location. It took a moment, but my mind was finally beginning to recognize this place. This was a dream world, one that I’d seen before. With every passing night, with every passing dream, I was able to travel further and further into this illusion as I tried to discover its meaning. I’d had recurring dreams before, but there was something different, disturbing about this one that seemed to speak to me. There was something that I was supposed to learn here and I needed to find it. The wind began to pick up and I looked to the north, the same direction that I looked to every night. Lightning cascaded across the sky, illuminating the massive, empty pasture in which I stood. The momentary flash brought something to my attention that I’d never seen in the dream before. Two figures stood off in the distance, several yards between them, facing off. Even with great distance between us, I could feel the tension rolling off of them. That must be the dark, heavy feeling in the air that I’d felt: anger, hatred. Thunder rolled again as the lightning danced across the sky. Using the display to light my path, I ran toward the figures ahead of me. As I approached, a bolt of raw, electric energy reached down from the sky and ignited the immediate area in flames. The swift turn of events stopped me short, nearly throwing me to the ground. The flames spread into a perfect circle as it surrounded both figures, blocking any further approach by me. Sharp chills cut through me from head to toe as I realized that one of them was fully controlling the blaze.</ span> Now that I was closer, I could tell that the figures were women. One woman, maybe an inch or two over five feet tall, stood around fifty feet away, and to my right. Her long, jet-black hair reached just below her hips and whipped around in the increasing wind. As I studied her, I began to see a deep-red, transparent cloud, like an aura surrounding her. She was strong, very strong, and I could feel her overwhelming power from here Looking to my left, her opponent was roughly the same height; only her hair was frosty white and hung to her knees. This woman was much different. She was surrounded by an aura cloud as well, though hers was dark blue. Something about her called to me and it took everything I had not to trudge barefooted through the flames to reach her Rain began to fall and quickly soaked everything around us, though it was still unable to extinguish the fire. Movement brought me to attention as the white haired woman lifted her arms. The earth began to quake beneath me as it broke free all around her. She looked like a dancer as she maneuvered her body, forcing the element into submission under her power. The packed earth sailed through the air towards the dark haired woman, but she was quick to react. In a flash, she completely disappeared from my sight, managing to dodge the attack. My eyes moved quickly as I focused to find her. My body locked up as my vision was suddenly clouded with the mysterious dark haired woman as she appeared before me, seemingly out of nowhere. Her dark, emerald green eyes and dilated coal- black pupils stared into mine, glinting in the firelight. Her raven hair seemed alive as it brushed my skin and sent tingles running through my body. Her flawless, olive-toned skin nearly glowed as she stood there, concern in her expression. “Kailah.” As her soft, sweet voice spoke my name, I inhaled sharply. Though her mouth barely moved as she spoke my name, her perfect, white teeth showed just enough for me to make out four tiny, yet still elongated, razor sharp fangs. My heart fluttered rapidly as I wondered if this woman was the creature that she appeared to be, and if so, how did she know me and what did she want with me? “Y-yes?” I stammered.</ span> “This is not a dream, Kailah. It’s a warning.” She leaned in closer. “Run,” she whispered. “Wait, what?” I asked, chills once again stabbing me like thousands of needles running from the roots of my hair to the bare, wet soles of my feet. “Run! As soon as I turned to run, the dark thunder cracked overhead and the lightning began touching the ground all around me, trying to hold me where I stood. I heard a loud growl sound out from behind me, but decided not to look back. The earth began to shake again and my bare feet slid on the wet grass, the soft ground cushioning me as I fell hard on my right hip. “Hello Kailah.” The new voice sent a shiver down my spine as I looked into the icy blue eyes of the white-haired woman.</ span> Though her hair would have suggested otherwise, she looked no older than me: around twenty. Her skin was also olive toned and absolutely flawless, just like the other woman. Though, normally, one would look to the light as salvation and the darkness as hell, I didn’t think that was the case in this situation. Her crystalline blue eyes had death in them and I found myself backing away from her, toward the raven-haired beauty.</ span> She laughed and the sound enveloped me like frigid water. “Kailah, you would choose the Vampire over your own grandmother?” Before I could digest the words that she had unleashed on me, her attention shifted and the blue aura cloud surrounding her exploded into a barrier. Instinctively, my eyes closed and I threw my hand out as a large throwing knife bounced off the cloudy shield and headed for me. “It is you!” she said with wonder. My eyes snapped open and surrounding my hand was the same blue energy that surrounded the white-haired woman, only mine had a throwing knife buried in it. I couldn’t stop the scream that bubbled up out of my throat as the energy dissipated and the knife fell in my lap. What the hell was going on? Her attention shifted again and with soft, graceful movements, a lightning bolt responded as it split from the sky and reached for her outstretched hand. She caught the energy easily before throwing it at her opponent. Another loud growl sounded out only a moment before something slammed hard into the barrier. That something, I realized, was the woman she had referred to as the Vampire. Dark red energy swelled around the supposed Vampire as she pushed against the barrier of the opposing woman. “Kailah! She can find you in your dreams! Go, now!” As soon as the order left the raven-haired beauty’s lips, energy exploded from her body as the white-haired woman was thrown several feet away. “This dream is a figment of your own mind but, make no mistake, this is a premonition. You are the key to ending this war and if she finds you, it will doom all humans to a fate worse than death. Leave this realm now and prepare your mind. Your life is about to change.”

It was a little odd that Henry didn't really use his billions. Really? He must be better than me. I would splurge for a little while anyway! Reviewed by Laura All Keegan wanted was a roommate who was quiet, minded their own business, and paid for part of the rent. Instead, she got Camden Brooks. Camden, with his sinful body, sharp tongue, and the inability to stay out of Keegan’s personal business, couldn’t seem to curb his interest in the new girl who wouldn’t put up with his domineering ways. Feelings were running rampant, sexual tension was thick, and both were struggling to let go of control. To some people, getting a roommate simply meant living with another person. But to both Camden and Keegan it was a curveball that neither was prepared to swing at. </ a> Standing up I began pacing. This was going too far. I could handle nice gestures, but coming into my room, and giving me things that I didn’t ask for was taking it too far. I wanted it out. I wanted it all out. Now! Marching downstairs, I was a girl on a mission. When I reached the bottom step, Camden turned around to look at me. Sure enough, there was that smug, satisfied little grin. I bet he was expecting a thank you for his diluted sense of generosity. Oh boy, was he in for a treat. I smiled back at him, but I had a feeling it didn’t look quite right. I was certain I had a crazed look in my eyes, and at this point, I didn’t care. My crazy was about to be hanging out all over the place. Now where in the hell was what it? My eyes drifted to the corner of the dining room. Up against the wall was the Louisville Slugger, just what I was looking for. I casually walked over to it and picked it up. I knew Camden’s eyes were tracking me. The grin on his mouth had slipped and now he just looked confused. I held the bat in my hand, testing its weight and deciphering my next move. “What are you doing?” Cam asked. I looked up at him, sending daggers at him through my eyes. “Practicing my swing.” His confusion deepened. When I saw his eyebrows raise, I knew realization hit him. “Now Keegan, don’t go doing something you’re going to regret.” The laugh that came from my mouth was pure evil. It sounded bizarre, even to me. “Oh Camden, I’m not going to regret this. I’m going to enjoy it very much.” With that I turned on my heels raced up the stairs. But not before heard him say “shit” and hurdle the couch coming after me. I made it up to my room before he did. I took a brief moment to breathe in through my nose and back out through my mouth. I was centering myself for my grand swing. Standing before the beautiful bed he had no business buying me, I brought the bat up high and was about to bring it down as hard as I could, when it stopped mid air. Twisting my head around, I locked eyes with wild deep brown ones. “Don’t you dare.” He growled, inches from my face.

) ~Review~ Kindle Alexander has done it again. I first discovered Kindle by reading one of her books and I have been hooked ever since. But Always is the one book that will stay with me for a long time.
Always is the story between Avery Adams and Kane Dalton. Kane is a very devoted Christian who's family turned their back on him when he told them he was gay. He was only 18 years old when he found himself without a home and family. Until Paulie the man who took him in and became the father figure he needed. He helped him realize his dream of owning his own successful restaurant "La Bella Luna". Kane still struggled with his religious believes and that his attraction to the same sex was a sin! Avery Adams is the son of politicians and the grandson of a president. He is also a very attractive lawyer who aspires to become a politician. Avery and Kane meet one night at "La Bella Luna", where it's love at first sight and before they know it a wedding ceremony Avery gives Kane because he knows how important it is for him. They decide to have a baby by a surrogate and become a family. They want what any couple want love, marriage, children and happily ever after. It's a story of love but also of love lost. This a story told over a span of 40 years together and it's a very emotional story where true love will stand the test of time Always!! Avery and Kane were meant to be each others soul-mates for Always. I give this beautiful story 5 well deserved stars. Congratulations Kindle on a wonderful book.

Be Warned this book contains: BDSM, anal sex, public exhibition, sex toys, spanking “It’s been a long time,” he said in a voice that still sent shivers up my spine. “I was in town, and decided, why not?” I crossed my arms and eyed him suspiciously. “Humm…” “That’s it? All you have to say is, ‘Humm?’” “Humm is better than what I was really thinking, Marcus.” His mouth twitched at the corners, and I hated the fact I noticed how damn sexy his lips were. “Guinn,” he said. “Guinevere,” I corrected. I set my expression to that of unyielding stone and ignored those sparkling straight white teeth as he smiled. His wicked ways no longer affected me. I’d broken his spell two years ago, and I wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. I was Mistress Guinevere. I was in control, he wasn’t, and I would never relinquish the balance of power out of my favor again. He tilted his head in that roguish way and eyed me. Heat radiated from my core. “So, am I to stand here in the hall or are you going to let me come in, Guinevere?” “I hate you, Marcus, so why should I let you in?” “Hate is a strong word for someone who claimed no feelings for me whatsoever as she stormed out of my apartment a couple of years ago.” “What do you want? I don’t have times for your games,” I said rather tersely. “Let me in. Then I’ll tell you.” “You’re going to have to do better than that, Marcus. What’s wrong? Have you lost your touch? If you think that will entice me, you are so wrong.” Marcus Warner, Master Dom, pulled out a gorgeous pair of thigh-high, red leather, spike-heeled boots from behind his back, holding them out in front of him so I could see every lovely inch of the unmistakable Italian craftsmanship on the handmade beauties. “You won’t let me in even if I’m baring gifts?” I eyed the boots before returning my gaze to him. “What’s the old saying?” I asked. His perfectly shaped eyebrow lifted. “Isn’t it, beware of those baring gifts?” He dangled the boots. Swinging them from side to side. Tempting me. Bastard. I’ll give Marcus his dues. Since the first day I met him, he had my number, and during the year I spent with him, I gave him too much of myself, falling back into what I believed to be the weakness I worked so hard with Mistress Payne to rid myself of. Marcus sniffed the leather of the boots in his hand, giving me that smile again. He knew me well, maybe too well, and he knew those boots would be like kryptonite, cracking my will. “All right. You can come in, but only for a while.” “That’s my little, Guinn,” he said. “I’m not your little anything, and don’t call me Guinn!” I stepped aside so he could enter, shutting the door behind him. He strolled into my apartment as though he belonged, sat the boots down on my glass coffee table, and took a seat, rather casually, on my leather couch. He patted the space next to him. “Well, come on. I’m not going to bite, unless you want me to,” he said, releasing his sexy sideway smirk. I took a seat in the chair across from the couch. This was my house, and I’d sit where I wanted to. He chuckled, shook his head, leaned back, and kicked his feet out, positioning them under my coffee table. “Marcus, are you going to tell me why you’re here?” “To see you.” “I’m not buying that.” He shrugged. “Aren’t you going to try on the boots?” “No,” I said. “You know you want to,” he baited. “Listen. I’m not sure what you are up to, and frankly I really don’t care—” “I’m up to the business of you,” he said. “What do you mean?” “Maybe I let you go too soon. Maybe I regret it. Maybe I’ve decided it’s been long enough, and I want you back.” I snorted. “I left you, remember? You didn’t let me do anything.” There was that grin of his. The one that makes any woman consider her panties, his mouth, his tongue… Stop it, Guinevere. Don’t forget this is Marcus, the man you loath. “Really?” His onyx-colored eyes met me, and held me there with him. Stare for stare, we were locked in a secret power play for dominance. “We never worked well together,” I said. “You’re a dom, and I’m a dom, and neither is willing to give.” “Baby, you’re a switch. You like to dominate, but you also like to be dominated.” “No. I’m not,” I protested. “You always liked it when I took the control,” he said, assuredly. “With one word, you were wet for me.” “I like being in control. And I have no intention or interest in being submissive. Not for you, not for anybody.” “How long are you going to keep telling yourself that lie?” I stood up, pissed off and ready to rage. “Marcus, I don’t have to explain anything, justify my life and my choices, or put up with your shit. I think your time is up. I’d like to say it was good seeing you again, but that would be a lie.” “You’ve always lied to yourself when it comes to me and how I make you feel.” “You don’t make me feel anything, Marcus. Get over yourself.” I marched to the front door. Marcus followed behind me. I reached for the knob, and was stopped by his large hand as it covered mine. He placed his mouth to my ear. His warm breath tickled across my cheek. “Guinevere,” he said in a low, deep growl. Immediately, my sex trembled.

These are really great stories and definitely left me wanting more. I enjoyed reading the stories. It did leave me wanting more. I was a little depressed when I realized that both books only contained three stories and two sections on the main character. I feel for the main character Tristan and finding his lost love. I can't wait for that to happen! These are definitely quick reads. I read both volumes in about 2 hours. And, I would read them again. If you are looking for some thing to read that's quick and will get your blood flowing I absolutely recommend these books! I give them 3 stars. Reviewed by Brandy |
