Review for Mr. X by Clarissa Wild






USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Clarissa Wild brings you Mr. X, a dark Romance thriller, which is a stand alone without cliffhanger.



*Author Note: This is not your average romance story. Some people will kill for love.*

He’s come to kill me.
I’m a user and abuser of my own body. In the darkest hour I sold my soul to the devil and now I must pay the price. With his gun to my head I have no choice but to listen and obey, but I refuse to go down easily. Nothing is stronger than the will to survive. My instincts kicked into full gear the second he stepped into my motel room.
Except when I look at him I see my own heart staring back at me. A history tainted by blood.
I don’t know his name, but I know he wants me. To save myself I’ll sacrifice my sanity. My body. My soul. Something tells me the x-shaped scar that marks his eye is the only escape I have. He is Mr. X; the man who comes to claim my life. Can I save myself before he demands my heart?

WARNING: This book contains very disturbing situations, strong language, drugs and alcohol, and graphic violence.

 

My 4 star review

Mr. X is a killer, period. He is a paid assassin and is damn good at his job. He is tall, built, covered in tattoos, and has a scar in the shape of an X on his eye. He has been in the assassin organization since he was a small child. His mother and father never gave him a choice; they turned him into a monster.

“Punishment is justice for the unjust.” –Saint Augustine

Jay is a girl who abuses her body with sex and drugs. She has done this for so long that she knows nothing different. She works as a stripper and for extra money, gives oral sex to her clients, but never gives up her goodies to them. With everything that has happened to her she is a very strong and brave woman. But she tends to need drugs to make her feel numb so she can just deal with life.

“The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.”- Mark Caine

 Mr. X and his family used to work for Jay’s father. Jay and Mr. X used to play together when they were kids. They were in each other’s lives for quite some time. Once they got older feelings got involved, which resulted in how Mr. X got his scar. And that is also the dame incident where Jay bumps her head and forgets her past. Mr. X hates Jay now and I mean HATES!!

For death begins with life’s first breath and life begins at touch of death.”-John Oxenham

But with a hit on Jay’s head, Mr. X finds himself doing whatever it to protect her. But… is he protecting her because he has those old feels stirring or is he just wanting to keep her alive long enough to give him the chance to kill her himself, since it is her fault he’s ending up this way?

“Time does not exist, only the notion that is does makes us believe we have control over it.”

-Clarissa Wild

While reading this book you will notice the author does an amazing job at keeping information from you, making you have to just sit there and take it! This book is full of lust, sex, revenge, love, passion, seduction, and plenty more. I love Mr. X and know he can’t help that he is a monster. He knows that. He just is the way he is and his parents are completely too blame for that. I enjoyed this book and I wish it didn’t end the way it did. However it was to be expected with having been warned in the very beginning… Though there in no cliffhanger in this story, one will still want more of Mr. X and Jay, Ms. Wild won’t disappoint you. I give this book 3.5 out of 5 stars only because well I just don’t like how it ended. But put that aside and it’s a 4 out of 5…

 

“This is not your average romance story. Some people will kill for love”.

Release Day: Freeing Her by A.M. Hargrove

 
Freeing Her Synopsis:

• This novel contains mature content and it not intended for younger readers.

This is the beginning of a story... the story of two people who were meant to be together. Why? Because unknown to them, they shared terrifying pasts and the cruel circumstances of their births doomed both of them to a life of hell.

Two strangers ... one night ... one accidental meeting that changed their lives forever.

Gabriella Martinelli, Manhattan psychiatrist had only one goal in life—to help abuse victims avoid the horrors she’d experienced herself. She worked late, volunteered, and donated her services to anyone who needed them. Life was good ... until her nightmare resurfaced. He found her, and began stalking her, and she knew he wouldn’t stop until he destroyed every ragged piece of her.

Kolson Hart, Manhattan’s most eligible bachelor, was ruled by his dark past. He liked control, from the boardroom to the bedroom and didn’t care to be involved with someone whose life was just as screwed up as his was. But one look at Gabriella short-circuited everything. Want ... desire ... need ... will sometimes drive a man to do things he swore he never would.

He freed her from a life of fear ... When he couldn’t even save himself.
 
 
 
AM Hargrove Bio:

One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager, A. M. Hargrove, realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn't do something soon, it would quickly be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life. So, she rolled down the passenger window of her fabulous (not) company car and tossed out her leather briefcase. Luckily, the pedestrian in the direct line of fire was a dodge ball pro and had über quick reflexes enabling him to avoid getting bashed in the head. Feeling a tad guilty about the near miss, A. M. made a speedy turn down a deserted side street before tossing her crummy, outdated piece-of-you-know-what lap top out the window. She breathed a liberating sigh of relief, picked up her cell phone, called her boss and quit her job. Grinning, she made another call to her hubs and told him of her new adventure (after making sure his heart was beating properly again).

So began A. M. Hargrove's career as a YA/NA and Adult Romance writer. Her books include Kissing Fire, Edge of Disaster, Shattered Edge, the series the Guardians of Vesturon (Survival, Resurrection, Determinant, Beginnings and reEmergent), Dark Waltz, Tragically Flawed, Tragic Desires, and Exquisite Betrayal.

Other than being in love with being in love, she loves chocolate, ice cream and coffee and is positive they should be added as part of the USDA food groups.

(If you're wondering, it didn't happen EXACTLY that way, but….)

You can also find her on Goodreads as Emerson St. Clair. Her novella series, Dirty Nights, is available and those are a little dark, a little erotic and a lot sexy!

Cover Reveal for Dom Wars Final Round by Lucian Bane and Aden Lowe




Title: Dom Wars Round Six

Authors: Lucian Bane & Aden Lowe

Release Date: August 13, 2014

Genre: BDSM Erotic Romance

Synopsis:

RECOMMENDED FOR AGES EIGHTEEN AND UP DUE TO EXPLICIT SEXUAL SITUATIONS, AND STRONG LANGUAGE

When Gladiator Inc, an adult toy company expands their market to familiarize the ‘vanilla’ world with the elements of BDSM, the result is a pay-per-view reality show with video feeds streamed live to subscribers. The show, Dom Wars, is a competition to determine the Top Dom that will become the spokesperson for the company.

The contestants all wear cameras to film every moment and angle of the competition, while they complete various challenges to determine who has ultimately Dominated various elements of themselves.

The hero and heroine of the series, Lucian Bane and Tara Reese, have barely made it into the Sixth and Final Round of Dom Wars. This week-long Survival Round will determine the Top Dom, once and for all.

The contestants are taken to an uninhabited island, where they will have to cross formidable jungle terrain. First Dom to reach the boat anchored on the other side of the island wins the million dollars and the title.
Seems simple. Except Lucian’s old adversary, the Sadist Jase Duff from Round One, has been tasked with making sure none of the five teams make it to the boat.
If he is successful, he wins the prize, only it's not money that Jase Duff cares about, its revenge on Lucian and Tara. And his sadistic need to inflict pain makes it game on

                                                                                                                                               About the Authors:

Lucian Bane:

My name is Lucian Bane, and I'm an Ineffable Dom. That just means, do yourself a favor and please don't try to fit me into categories. Complicated Dom, Intricate Dom, or Confounding Dom work too. I don't want a woman I can break, or overpower, or exercise my dominance over. I want a woman I can come undone with. I want a woman I can lose myself in. I think there are many men like myself, and I hope my writing will be a map for them. (And women, to let them know Doms like this exist.) I want to challenge men to go for the complete power exchange with a woman, but don't be a coward and not give the same that they demand or expect. Consider that when you give one hundred percent of yourself to a person, there is no more of you to give away. You now belong to them the way they belong to you. Inner Doms need a master to train them. I once bowed to my Dom's reckless and tireless desires, but when I gained control, he bowed to my will. The transformation made me into what I am today. What many would call an Ineffable Dom. But its equal term in the Vanilla world, in my opinion, is a real man

Aden Lowe:

As an English major in college, I took a summer job as a proofreader for a small town newspaper, and got hooked on editing. I also worked my way through college training horses. After graduation, I landed a job for a small independent editing firm, and stayed there for 15 yrs. An old friend, Lucian, approached me to edit his special fiction project, and I got hooked. After an insane few months editing his Dom Wars series for him, Lucian convinced me I should try my hand at writing as well. I’m his co-author for Round Six, the final Dom Wars installment, and we will co-write the White Knight Academy series as well. And in Sept 2014, I’ll release my debut solo work, an Erotic Western with BDSM elements, “Big Game: A Hunted Love Novella”. In addition, I have a military series in the planning stages.

Review for Reckless by Priscilla West





Ok.Everything about him warned me to stay away.

I’d seen bad boys before, but he had it all and more. The rippling muscles covered in tatts, the piercing eyes hiding dark secrets, the silky voice that could make a girl come with just a whisper . . .

He was exactly the type of guy that would get me in trouble, but when he jumped off the stage, inked skin glistening with sweat and breathed his seductive words into my ear, I couldn’t resist the temptation.

It was supposed to be the best one-night stand of my life, but fate didn’t let it play out that way. Things happened. I got upset. I got hasty. And worst of all, I got reckless.

After that disaster, I thought it was the last I’d see of him. But what I didn’t know was that I’d started something.

Something that could shatter the very thing I had worked so hard to protect.

I should have known back then that the most seductive things in life are also the most dangerous.

My 4.5 star review


Riley is a badass! She is one of the funniest, cutest, sassiest, and down to earth, take me or leave me book characters ever!! I really like this character a whole. I see a bit of myself in her too. She wears a mask of confidence, but once it is off she has insecurity issues just like everyone else.

Jax is a hot, sexy; a yummy that makes me, want to eat him up whole, dark guy, you just can’t get enough of. Oh and did I mention he is a bad boy. Oh yes, a hot rock star with tattoos, but… never judge a book by its cover. He is more than just sex appeal; he is a person with a past that no one really knows. And he plans on keeping it that way.

Riley & Jax meet one night when she goes to a bar to have drinks with her friend. The next thing she knows there is a special performance by The Hitchcock’s. Riley can’t take her eyes off them. She is drawn to bad boys, always has been, but let’s face it what woman isn’t attracted to a bad boy?! Jax’s voice is hypnotizing so much so that it can melt the panties off any woman and makes men want to be him. When Jax is on stage and is singing to the entire crowd of women, he spots Riley. Riley notices and ends up having to battle through a group of crazy women just to get to the front of the stage. When the set is over Jax jumps down off the stage, stalks over to Riley and whispers in her ear, “backstage in twenty minutes”. If that was me, I would have died right then and there. Well naturally, she ends up finding her way backstage but let’s just say that it wasn’t as easy as she thought it would be. She finds Jax, but can tell he is all about games and she isn’t the type of girl to play games let alone lose them. So she gives him a case of blue balls and leaves him…And well, if you want to find out what he does about it and where it all leads go pick up Reckless and start reading.  Otherwise you will blue balls, figuratively speaking, until you do. J

 This book is all the above: hilarious, sad, dark, heart-breaking, and full of secrets, betrayal, romance, and love. And leave it to Priscilla West to leave you with your mouth hanging wide open,  thinking what in the hell is going to happen. She did just that, because while I am writing this review, I am wondering what in the hell is going to happen in book two! This story took a totally different turn but that is Ms. West’s style. She will draw you in, make you think you know what is going to happen and then… BOOM!!! You weren’t even close. I Love it!!

Review for Interview with a Porn Star by Jason Luke

 
Interview with a Porn Star
By
Jason Luke
He is brash. He is irreverent. And he tells it like it is!
He is also articulate, witty and charming.
He's Rick Cassidy - one of the world's most successful porn actors
…And he has a story to tell.
 
My 5 star review
 
Rick Cassidy is a porn star and one of the most successful ones at that. He has slept with over a thousand women due to his profession. He started working in the porn industry at 19 years old and now he not only stars in them, he films and directs them. He is in LA and he is filming some scenes for one of his new movies, while he is scheduled to do an interview with Infinity magazine.
Connie is the lucky woman that gets to interview the famous Rick Cassidy. She has never even watched a porn movie in her life and now she is interviewing the most successful porn star in the world. She isn’t even a fan of his but she has to stay professional and do her job even though she loathes what he does.
I was very happy when I found out that Jason Luke was writing yet another book. I am a huge fan of his. He is a very talented writer and I am so glad that he wrote yet another amazing story. Jason Luke has a way of making you enter his characters worlds.
I really liked Rick’s character and really feel sad for him. I mean, who doesn’t love sex! But alas, life is more than just sex. It is more than a hot sexy guy or a hot sexy girl. Lust is lust and love is love. There definitely isn’t love in the Pornographic industry. I love how Rick and Connie had 100% of my attention throughout this whole book.
I have to admit that I did text my Fiancée and told him that this is defiantly a book that men and women should read. He got quite a few more texts from me that I will not share with you at this moment. LOL! I was sad when the book came to a close because this story is an amazing meaningful story. And in my opinion was just beginning. But, as usual, I am very pleased with the ending.
So with all that being said, Congrats Jason Luke! Please go and get this book along with Interview with a Master and Vignettes of a Master. Jason Luke will not disappoint you!
