Release Day Launch & Giveaway: Just Gotta Say by Laura Kaye

We are so excited to bring you the Release Day Launch for Laura Kaye’s JUST GOTTA SAY! JUST GOTTA SAY is a 17K-word erotic menage short story. JUST GOTTA SAY will be $.99 and available in print!!

Just Gotta Say is a super sexy friends-to-lovers story and a contemporary ménage a quatres. Here’s the blurb:

Callie Davis stumbles upon two of her three male roommates in a surprising, molten-hot midnight tryst and discovers a side of herself she never knew existed. Desire to play with them grips her, and she can’t stop fantasizing about having multiple men, particularly her three long-time best friends.

Callie is thrilled when a guys’ night out gives her the perfect opportunity to recreate her fantasy, with the help of a threesome porn video and a bag of sex toys. That is, until Lucas, Jack and Noah return early and catch her in the act. More than anything, the guys want to make her fantasy come true. But Callie has a secret, and she can’t help wondering if being with all three men will risk the future she’s always wanted with one of them.

As three strong sets of hands caress and undress her, Callie surrenders to desire, because sometimes you just gotta say…yes.

Kindle $0.99 http://geni.us/7h6 | Amazon PBK $5.69 http://geni.us/3Cvt | B&N $0.99 http://bit.ly/1xLWl8w | Kobo $0.99 http://bit.ly/1sJagwh

Just Gotta Say Excerpt:

The set-up: Callie’s most secret fantasy was just unexpectedly revealed to her three male roommates…

The invitation he laid out for her—the invitation to be with them, to act out this fantasy for real with them—was completely outside anything she imagined possible.

She sat for a long moment, still mostly curled into herself. Her gaze lit on the rough bobbing of Jack’s Adams apple as he swallowed. His apparent case of nerves eased hers. A little. Soft, sandy-colored strands brushed against her forehead. Her nose filled with the scent of him, all night air and masculinity.

Callie took a deep breath, her body remembering her unfulfilled arousal even as her brain struggled to keep up. “What are you saying, Jack?” she whispered, buying herself time to think and needing him to spell it out.

One hand stroked her back while the other combed her hair off the side of her face. “I’m saying”—he nibbled at her ear, but this time his lips lingered, his warm exhalation caressing her skin—“that the three of us want to bring that fantasy to life for you. If you want.”

Every nerve ending tingled with the promise of what he offered. Her heart rose from where it had plummeted into her gut and now hammered against her chest. Images of the three of them kissing her, fucking her, swamped her brain. Blood roared through her ears. “Are you teasing me?”

“Look at me,” he said, sliding his large hand under her cheek.

The commanding press of his skin on hers skittered electrical charges down her neck to her breasts. Her nipples hardened. She acquiesced and sat up just enough to face one of her three dearest friends.

“We want to do this for you.” He quirked the sexiest of crooked smiles and shrugged with one shoulder. “You know we’d be good together.”

She didn’t know whether his “we” meant her and him or the four of them. An encouraging voice in her mind said both interpretations were true.

He cupped her neck, his grasp comforting and reassuring, and brushed his lips against her right cheekbone. Her right eye. Her forehead. Tilting his head to the other side, he repeated the action against her left eye, the apple of her left cheek. She gasped when his last kiss fell on that tender, hollow spot just below her ear.

“What do you want, Callie? Whatever you want, we want. Always.”

Holiday Hop & Giveaway: Featuring Jill Shalvis, Carolyn Brown, Grace Burrowes, Terry Spear, and Sarah Morgan

Ready or not, Christmas is right around the corner, which means shopping, food, family — and holiday romances! This season, award winning authors Jill Shalvis, Carolyn Brown, Terry Spear, and Sarah Morgan each have Christmas romances releasing. To get readers into the holiday spirit, the authors answer the following question: Your hero and heroine get snowed in. What one item do they want with them?

Jill Shalvis author of One in a Million

If Callie and Tanner got snowed in, they wouldn’t need anything, not a single item. In fact, if I know them, and I’m pretty sure I do, they’ll be shedding whatever items they have on them. 🙂

Carolyn Brown author of Cowboy Boots for Christmas

Callie would want some of those boots that she adamantly refuses when the snow gets up over her shoe tops.

After this, I think the main thing Callie and Finn would want when they can barely get out of the house, is simply nothing more than for the door connecting their rooms to never stick or to start squeaking in the middle of the night.

Grace Burrowes author of What A Lady Needs for Christmas

Tooth powder. Dante and Joan are practical sorts.

Terry Spear author of A Highland Wolf Christmas

Each other. In A Highland Wolf Christmas, Guthrie MacNeill and Calla Stewart have their wolf halves to keep them and each other warm if it gets too bad. All they need is each other. You realize more babies are born when the electricity goes out, right? Same with snowstorms. That’s the best way to keep warm—or…hot.

Sarah Morgan author of Maybe This Christmas

Matches. That way they can light a fire and candles. Perfect for a romantic night together.

Jill Shalvis author of One in a Million

The final book in New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis’s Lucky Harbor series. This trilogy will be published back-to-back-to-back to build excitement for the romantic conclusion to the series. The series appeals to fans of Susan Mallery, Susan Andersen, Carly Phillips, and Rachel Gibson.

As the brains behind wedding site TyingTheKnot.com, Callie sees it all: from the ring to the dress, the smiles . . . to the tears. It’s that last part that keeps her single and not looking. Getting left at the altar will do that to a girl. But when Callie returns to her old hometown, she finds that her sweet high school crush is sexier than ever. And he makes it hard to remember why she’s sworn off love . . .

Tanner is a deep-sea diver with a wild, adrenaline-junkie past-and now his teenage son is back in his life. How can Tanner be a role model when he’s still paying for his own mistakes? It’s hard enough that gorgeous Callie has appeared in town like a beautiful dream, challenging his best-laid plans to keep his heart on lockdown. Though there’s something about being around her again that makes him feel like he can be the man she-and his son-deserve. Little Lucky Harbor holds their past; can it hold a beautiful new future?

✦BUY LINKS ➢ Amazon http://geni.us/47Jr | B&N http://bit.ly/1vmsmpQ | Kobo http://bit.ly/1vmsqFR

Carolyn Brown author of Cowboy Boots for Christmas
All she wants under the Christmas tree is a pair of cowboy boots…

Callie Brewster didn’t figure she’d ever see Finn O’Donnell again when they parted company in Afghanistan. But when her young nephew witnesses a killing, everything changes. The government says they’ll put him in witness protection, but Callie doesn’t trust anyone to protect her nephew-except for Finn O’Donnell.

All Finn wants for Christmas is some peace and quiet on his newly purchased ranch. But he owes Callie Brewster his life, and he always repays a debt. Now there’s a woman in the house who joined the army to get away from ranching, a boy who is scared of his shadow, and a feud going on amongst the other ranchers. Yet in the midst of all the chaos Finn is happier and more at peace than he’s ever been before…

Grace Burrowes author of What A Lady Needs for Christmas

All she needs this Christmas is a suitable husband who can save her reputation.

Dante Hartwell is determined to make his business a success; but for that, he needs a wealthy wife with strong connections to the aristocracy. And when Lady Joan Flynn agrees to marry him, he sees his dreams becoming a reality.

What Dante doesn’t know is that Joan fears she may be pregnant with another man’s child-a man who has stolen not only her virtue, but her impressive fashion designs. As secrets begin to unfurl, Dante and Joan must make a decision: will they trust each other enough to fall in love and finally obtain the happiness they both secretly crave? Or will doubt overcome their increasing attraction?

✦BUY LINKS ➢ Amazon http://geni.us/kpp | B&N http://bit.ly/ZATxPK

Terry Spear author of A Highland Wolf Christmas

Sexy highland shapeshifters in kilts. Who says Christmas dreams don’t come true?

Financial advisor Guthrie MacNeill isn’t a complete Scrooge-he just hates the enormous cost associated with the Christmas holiday season. Needless to say, when his pack hires a party planner to decorate the castle, he’s at his wit’s end. Until Calla Stewart arrives on the scene with her mistletoe in hand.

Calla has never had a client as difficult as Guthrie, but she’s determined to give the pack a Christmas season they will never forget-no matter how much it costs. But when her ex-fiance begins stalking her and threatening her safety, Guthrie decides to loosen his grip on the purse strings and let out his inner Highland warrior wolf to protect her.

Sarah Morgan author of Maybe This Christmas

“Uplifting, sexy and warm, Sarah Morgan’s O’Neil Brothers series is perfection.”—Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author

This winter, ex-skiing champion, reformed heartbreaker and single dad Tyler O’Neil has only one mission—making sure his daughter, Jess, has the best Christmas ever. The fact that his best friend, Brenna, is also temporarily moving into his chalet at the overbooked Snow Crystal resort is a delicious distraction he’s simply going to have to ignore. Theirs is the one relationship he’s never ruined, and he’s not about to start now.

Ski pro Brenna Daniels knows all about the perils of unrequited love—she’s been in love with Tyler for years. But living with him is absolute torture… How can she concentrate on being his friend when he’s sleeping in the room next door? Then when Tyler kisses Brenna, suddenly the relationship she’s always dreamed of feels so close she could almost touch it. Could this be the Christmas her dreams of a happy-ever-after finally come true?

Review: Immortal: A Novel of the Fallen Angels by J.R. Ward

Immortal: A Novel of the Fallen Angels by J.R. Ward
Publication Date: October 7, 2014
Reviewed by: Reading in Pajamas/ Donna
Rated: 4 Stars

This is a world where sin and salvation collide. This is a world where a cynical fallen angel struggles with the seven deadly sins and seven chosen souls. With the spellbinding Immortal, the riveting series that “changed the face of paranormal romance” comes to an epic close as mankind’s reluctant savior struggles with his greatest challenge yet…time, and hearts, will tell.

This is the final book in the Fallen Angels series where Jim, the savior, has his work cut out for him. He hasn’t been doing great in the war and now it has reached the finale. I enjoyed this book mostly because it tied up a lot of loose ends with some light hearted humor. Some of the action showed a lot of imagination but seemed a bit odd to me. Also, I have not been a big fan of Sissy, but trusted that Jim knew what he wanted, so I just went with it. Devina on the other hand is a perfectly written bad guy. She is evil to the core with no remorse, a great counterpart to Jim and his mission. Overall it was a good read and I love the lead-in to Lassiter. In my opinion he’s the best fallen angel of them all.

BLOG TOUR, Review & Giveaway: Reaper’s Stand by Joanna Wylde

BLOG TOUR, Review & Giveaway: Reaper’s Stand by Joanna Wylde
Publication Date: October 7, 2014
Reviewed by: Reading In Pajamas/ Cori
Rated: 5 Stars

As Reapers Motorcycle Club president, Reese “Picnic” Hayes has given his entire life to the club. After losing his wife, he knew he’d never love another woman. And with two daughters to raise and a club to manage, that was just fine with him. These days, Reese keeps his relationships free and easy—he definitely doesn’t want to waste his time on a glorified cleaning lady like London Armstrong.

Too bad he’s completely obsessed with her.

London is independent, and she likes it that way. Besides running her own business, London’s got her junkie cousin’s daughter to look after—a more reckless than average eighteen-year-old. Sure she’s attracted to the Reapers’ president, but she’s not stupid. Reese Hayes is a criminal and a thug. But when her young cousin gets caught up with a ruthless drug cartel, Reese might be the only man who can help her. Now London has to make the hardest decision of her life—how far will she go to save her family?

I loved this book so much! I’m totally obsessed with Joanna Wylde’s Reaper’s MC Series and I was so excited to get Picnic’s book. He’s always been a favorite character of mine. His book blew me away and surpassed all my expectations. Picnic is one hot and sexy man and proves older men know what they’re doing in the bedroom. I loved London too! She is a strong, independent woman who is the perfect match for Picnic. If you haven’t read this series yet you need to get it now! If you have read it then you know why I’m so obsessed and Reaper’s Stand will probably be your new favorite in the series too. This is a gritty and raw biker romance that is well written and addicting. I can’t wait to see what Joanna Wylde has in store for us next.

“Are you gonna sit down or not?” he asked.

“I’m really uncomfortable with”—I gestured toward the woman—“this.” “That’s not exactly my problem,” he said, dropping a hand to rest on her head. “But if it’s an issue, you can take her place.”
“No,” I said quickly.

“Then sit the fuck down and tell me why you’re here.”

His voice tightened, and I realized he was running out of patience. Fair enough—he obviously had other things on his . . . ahem . . . mind. I carefully perched on the edge of the couch, facing the door. This was actually better, I realized. I didn’t have to look at him now. Although I could feel the woman’s movements through the furniture frame and that was very creepy.

“My cousin’s daughter is somewhere at this party,” I said quickly. “Her name is Jessica, and she has very poor judgment. I’d really like to get her out of here and home before she does something completely stupid.”

Like set the building on fire.

“You got shit timing.”

I didn’t respond, because what the hell would I say? So far as I knew, Hallmark didn’t make a “Sorry I Interrupted Your Oral Sex” card.

REVIEW: Only by HelenKay Dimon

ONLY by HelenKay Dimon
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Publication Date: October 7, 2014
Reviewed by: Reading in Pajamas/ Donna
Rated: 3.5 Stars

Sebastian Jameson negotiates for high-end clients who need problems taken care of quickly and discreetly. Accustomed to being in control, he’s still reeling from his ex-wife’s decision to write a tell-all about their private life, one that highlighted their bedroom activities. The fallout left Bast’s love life in chaos, making him a magnet for women who thrive on risky fantasies, and a pariah to all others.

Kyra Royer knows all about Bast’s reputation—and is intrigued enough to try to change him into a one-woman guy. But getting him into her bed will be a challenge. He’s known her brother for years, and her brother, with his rough past and sniper abilities, is not a man you cross. Kyra knows Bast thinks she’s off-limits, so she’ll have to get creative to make him hers.

As Kyra turns up the heat, Bast struggles to resist the sexy young woman’s considerable charms. But when Bast’s job turns from tricky to deadly, keeping Kyra nearby might be the only way to keep her alive—even if it means getting closer than he ever intended…

This was an enjoyable romantic intrigue novel that was fast paced and engaging. Bast was great and I liked him right away however I never warmed up to Kyra. To me she came across as whiney and clingy. The story was hot enough that I could get past it. I loved the side-story romance between Eli and Wade though. I liked them both and they make a great pair. The groups bantering was fun and I could picture them sitting around throwing out the comments. There wasn’t a whole lot of suspenseful action, but I also couldn’t wait to see what happened next. Overall this was an enjoyable and steamy romantic suspense.

Review & Giveaway: King Tomb (Forever Evermore Book 3) by Scarlett Dawn

King Tomb (Forever Evermore Book 3) by Scarlett Dawn
Genre: Paranormal Romance/ New Adult Romance
Publication Date: October 8, 2014
Reviewed by: Reviewed by Reading In Pajamas/ Cori
Rated: 5 Stars

From Scarlett Dawn comes the stunning, sexy, sensual, surprising, spellbinding conclusion to the bestselling, first Forever Evermore trilogy.

Queen Shifter, Lily Ruckler, has found solace in brutal warfare. Her bloodied fists and bared fangs fill the holes left in her memory, the blank spaces that leave her soul aching and empty. Her only pleasure is in blood; her only salvation is the relationship she has with her infant child, the baby of unknown origins who brings her solace and stability.

When Elder Harcourt summons Lily and her protector Antonio back to the United States, Lily thinks nothing unusual about the change of location. But a standard reconnaissance mission leaves her trapped inside King Zeller’s private quarters, and at his mercy. Surprise attraction rapidly turns to a battle of wills and an intense power struggle that leaves no clear victor but plenty of resentment.

They are not allowed to nurse their wounds. In order to win the war against the Commoners, the King Vampire and Queen Shifter must work together. It should be easy. The war is turning, the battle is deadly, and both Lily and Ezra love the cold cleanliness of combat.

But their chance meeting has led to more than an unlikely alliance. Secrets have a way of surfacing, especially on a torn-up battlefield, and Lily and Ezra are about to re-learn all they cannot remember. If they can’t control their emotions and responses, it will be to their own ruin and the destruction of everything around them.

I loved it! This trilogy is just incredible. Scarlett Dawn created a magical world of mysticals full of action, danger, suspense and hot romance. The dynamic and likable characters drew me in and made me feel part of their story. They took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions during the journey and I loved every minute of it. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on King Tomb so I could pick up where King Cave left off. I dived right in and didn’t put it down until I got to the last page. Not many writers can suck me into a story like that. I highly recommend this paranormal/ new adult romance for paranormal lovers wanting a unique and exciting new world to escape to for a while. I plan to read the whole trilogy over again to experience it all at once.

Review & Giveaway: Broken: The Cavanaugh Brothers, Book 2 by Laura Wright

Broken: The Cavanaugh Brothers, Book 2 by Laura Wright
Publication Date: October 7, 2014
Reviewed by: Reading in Pajamas/ Cori
Rated: 5 Stars

The Cavanaugh brothers left behind River Black, Texas, long ago. But after their father dies, bequeathing them the Triple C, a cattle ranch that sustains their small town, they return—and confront the painful memories of their childhood home and the truth about their sister’s murder…

For years, James Cavanaugh has traveled the world as a horse whisperer, but even the millions he’s earned hasn’t healed the pain he hides behind his stoic exterior. Forced to tackle old demons at the ranch, James throws himself into work to avoid his true feelings. Until he meets a woman who shakes the foundations of his well-built walls…

Sheridan O’Neil’s quiet confidence has served her well, except when it comes to romance. Refusing to allow her heard to led her to disaster, she chooses to focus solely on work. But after Sheridan is rescued from a horse stampede by the most beautiful cowboy she’s ever met, her vow to keep her heart penned wavers. Only, as Sheridan uncovers James’s belief that no woman is safe with him, she wonders if such a wounded man could ever give in to love, or if some hearts are too broken to be healed.…

I love this series so much and can’t say enough great things about it. Not only has Laura Wright delivered a sexy cowboy romance, but the series also contains the chilling murder mystery of the sister of the Cavanaugh brothers. We get more insights into the murder in this second installment in the series and I can’t wait for the next book to reveal more. I fell in love with James, the sexy horse whisperer and romantic poet, while reading his story and experiencing his loss and pain. James and Sheridan romance was slow to heat up, but burned up the pages when they did get together. Broken is a story of loss, intrigue, healing and love. I loved every minute of it! I highly recommend this sizzling cowboy romance and can’t wait for Cole’s book, Brash, to release in March 2015. I’ll be devouring it as soon as I can get my hands on it!
