***Cover Reveal and Giveaway*** Until You're Mine by K. Langston





Release Date: April 7, 2014


            Taking big risks had always been Archer Brook’s way of life. It’s what has to be done in order to get what you want, and he knew that better than anyone. Archer may have been born into a life of wealth and privilege, but he’d proven time and time again that his success was a result of his own true grit and determination. The savvy businessman was an experienced player in the game of life, always knowing when to ante up or when to cash out.

 
            It was time to do both. 

            Burned out on the bright lights of Vegas, once the successful night club owner found the best of both worlds tucked away in a quiet Mississippi town, he never looked back. 


            That was until she walked into his bar.

          Life has never been easy for Katy Vaughn. The preacher’s daughter turned small town rebel has seen her fair share of heartbreak, and she’s tired. Katy is done with men who have no idea what they want or how to treat a woman. She wants a real man. One who can give her everything she’s ever dreamed of. One who will give her everything she needs. Lovers of the past may have broken her heart, but they could never break her spirit.

            There was only one man capable of that.

You never know when love will come along and change…everything



EXCERPT
a little naughty.....

Green eyes studied me for a moment before his lips crashed against mine, pressing me back down to the couch. “How could I deny you when you beg like that? Scoot that sweet ass down a bit.” I lifted my hips, scooting down. Archer adjusted the throw pillow beneath my head then propped my other high heeled foot onto his shoulder. Two fingers slid deep inside of me. “Fuck, I love how wet you get for me. Every time I touch you, you’re fucking soaked.”
Breathing in and out was difficult. Sparks of fire licked every nerve in my body, from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. “Please,” 
“Fuck yes. Beg. I wanna hear it. Tell me what you want, sweetheart.”
“You. I want you.”
“Me?” Archer grunted as he slammed inside of me. “Or this?” 
The sudden invasion was hard and hot and skated along the line of extreme pleasure and immense pain. It took my very breath away. Open mouthed and wide eyed, I watched closely as he slid in and out of me. The pain subsided as pleasure took over and I couldn't help but close my eyes and get lost in it. Lost in the moment. Lost in him. 
Lost in us.
  


a little nice.....

These tears weren’t for Archer so I didn’t care if he saw me crying. These tears were for all the time that I’d wasted. These tears were for me.
            “Awe hell, you gotta stop that shit. I can’t deal with a cryin’ ass woman now.”
            God built men to be strong, but when it came to their emotions, they were just weak little boys.
            Wiping my eyes, I sniffled. “I don’t expect you to understand what I’ve been through. I don’t need your shoulder.”
            He had the nerve to look pissed at my statement. “Just because I don’t want a blubbering mess in my lap doesn’t mean I don’t wanna listen.”
            Archer’s ass found the dusty floor of the storage room next to me. Lifting me by hips, he positioned me on his lap.
            “Talk.”
BECAUSE YOU"RE MINE

Madison Waters knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life. She was already working for one of the most prestigious law firms in Boston as a research assistant, and in a few short months, she would finally graduate from Harvard and collect her law degree. Everything she had worked so hard for was well within her reach.

But when Madison had to take an unexpected trip back home, she was blindsided by the one thing she never planned on.

Desperate to escape his wicked past, Holden Brooks moved to Madison's hometown five years ago. It’s was a struggle at first, but he eventually overcame the demons that almost destroyed him back in Texas. Holden was in a good place in his life and love was the last thing on his mind.

Everything changes the moment these two paths collide and they soon find out, fate has a plan of its own.

You never know when or where love will come along and change everything.

Sandy B's Review of Forever and Always (The Ever Trilogy #1) by Jasinda Wilder


Description

Ever,

These letters are often all that get me through week to week. Even if it’s just random stuff, nothing important, they’re important to me. Gramps is great, and I love working on the ranch. But…I’m lonely. I feel disconnected, like I’m no one, like I don’t belong anywhere. Like I’m just here until something else happens. I don’t even know what I want with my future. But your letters, they make me feel connected to something, to someone. I had a crush on you, when we first met. I thought you were beautiful. So beautiful. It was hard to think of anything else. Then camp ended and we never got together, and now all I have of you is these letters. S**t. I just told you I have a crush on you. HAD. Had a crush. Not sure what is anymore. A letter-crush? A literary love? That’s stupid. Sorry. I just have this rule with myself that I never throw away what I write and I always send it, so hopefully this doesn’t weird you out too much. I had a dream about you too. Same kind of thing. Us, in the darkness, together. Just us. And it was like you said, a memory turned into a dream, but a memory of something that’s never happened, but in the dream it felt so real, and it was more, I don’t even know, more RIGHT than anything I’ve ever felt, in life or in dreams. I wonder what it means that we both had the same dream about each other. Maybe nothing, maybe everything. You tell me.

Cade

~ ~ ~ ~

Cade,

We’re pen pals. Maybe that’s all we’ll ever be. I don’t know. If we met IRL (in real life, in case you’re not familiar with the term) what would happen? And just FYI, the term you used, a literary love? It was beautiful. So beautiful. That term means something, between us now. We are literary loves. Lovers? I do love you, in some strange way. Knowing about you, in these letters, knowing your hurt and your joys, it means something so important to me, that I just can’t describe.  I need your art, and your letters, and your literary love. If we never have anything else between us, I need this. I do. Maybe this letter will only complicate things, but like you I have a rule that I never erase or throw away what I’ve written and I always send it, no matter what I write in the letter. 

Your literary love,

Ever
Sandy B's Review

Ever - “Is this real”?  “Yes.” “Are you really here?” “Yes.”  She whimpered and buried her face against my throat. “Don’t – don’t lie to me.  Don’t let it be a dream.”

Caden - My hands were on the backs of her thighs, her flesh hot as coals and softer than silk.  “Ever…” I didn’t know what to do say.  I was praying it wasn’t a dream just as fervently as was she.  “It’s real. Say my name, so I know it’s real.” 

“Caden.”  She lifted her face to look at me. “Cade.”

Yaaaaaay!  I was literally clapping my hands at that part.  Our “literary lovers” were finally together as in physically in the same place.  Though, I felt that in their hearts they had been together since the moment the first time they met at 15 years old.
Ever and Caden decide to become pen pals.  In the age of Facebook, Twitter and smartphones – these two decide to write letters to each other.  Over the years those letters become like a security blanket, a source of comfort for both.  They shared the good, the bad and the ugly.  They revealed an emotional nakedness to each other that no one else ever knew.  Each one had issues with family life at home so those letters became their lifeline.  Unbeknownst to them, at that point, it is the tether that is strung across time and space invisibly but tangibly uniting their souls together.
I can always count on Jasinda Wilder to produce an entertaining read – for sure.  There is more here dear reader – much more. 
Forever & Always was joyful, heartbreaking, breathtaking, angsty, hopeful and sexy.  The sex scenes were intense – they were also beautiful.  Check out this quote from Caden to Ever “Ever…” “God, you’re so….much.  So beautiful.  I feel drunk from kissing you.  Like touching you makes me high. I’m dizzy from your skin.”  Now what girl wouldn’t want to hear that from her lover.  The thing is that I “felt” his words inside of me.  Truly and totally sucked in by this story, to the point that I didn’t want anyone talking to me. 
Here is Ever’s response “You’re all there is, all I know.  All I need.”
There were definitely swoon worthy moments here.  I highly suggest you arm yourself with a box of tissues, tequila or ice cream depending on what floats your boat.  Initially I had a cup of ice cream.  Then the situation got real!  I walked to my fridge, took out the chilled Patron and poured myself a nice drink - neat with fresh lime juice.
I hate cliffhangers! Thankfully, Book #2 in the Ever Series (After Forever) will be released alongside Book #1 (Forever & Always).  Book #3 (Saving Forever) of this trilogy will be released soon thereafter.  Thank God!  It makes me crazy waiting a year for the next book in a series after a cliffhanger.
I absolutely adored Forever & Always and cannot wait to find out what happens next.  Great job by Jasinda Wilder.

***Release Day Blitz and Giveaway*** My Beautiful (Lifeless #2) by J.M. La Rocca


Synopsis: 

It has been eight months since Scarlett Moore last saw Kade Evans. After being left hurt and confused she tried to forget about him, but he wasn’t easy to forget. She found herself thinking about him often. Even her best friend Jules did her best to get him off her mind by pushing her toward Bryce, the one person Scarlett was not sure she wanted to be involved with. When a new job opportunity is offered to her and Jules, they jump on it. The idea of starting over again and forgetting the past is enticing to Scarlett even if it moves her to Los Angeles, the same place Kade lives.

Kade Evans’ life revolved around his band, alcohol, drugs, and women…until he met Scarlett. She is the light to his darkness, his beautiful; the one that makes him see what the future might hold. That is, until his past came barreling back into his life, ruining everything. Hurting her was the last thing he wanted to do, but he did what he had to do to protect her. His plan is to find a way out of his new life before he tries to win her heart back. But life has a plan of its own and unexpectedly, Scarlett walks back into his life.

When they meet again, the fire she thought burned out is reignited and the plans he made are rearranged.

Just when things start to fall into place, they all seem to fall apart and the one person they think they can trust turns out to be the one to hurt them the most.


Excerpt:

I slowly walked up to her, lifting my hand up to caress her cheek. “I still can’t believe I’m here with you.”
“Me too,” she sighed as she leaned into my hand.
Lifting my other hand, I ran my fingers through her hair. I pulled the elastic band out and grasped her hair into my fist, then my mouth was on hers. She let out a soft moan as our lips finally connected, our tongues teasing and our teeth biting. My breaths were coming rapidly and I couldn’t contain my own hums of approval as she explored my body with her hands.
Letting my hands drop, I found the tie that held her robe closed. I untied it and pulled it apart. My hands started to do their own exploring; it didn’t take long until I discovered she wasn’t wearing anything underneath. I groaned and my cock twitched. I was now hard as a rock. I had to slow down before it was over faster than it started. I wanted to savor every moment.
Slowly, I pulled my lips away and looked at her beautiful face. Her cheeks were flushed and her lips swollen and red. Just the sight of her in front of me all flushed and breathing heavily with her robe gaping open, made me want to throw her on the bed and fuck her into oblivion. But it would be over too soon for me. I wanted to taste every inch of her. Memorize every curve of her body, every moan that escaped her lips. I wanted to make her come until she begged me to stop. Only then would I succumb to my own needs.
I lifted my hands up to her shoulders and gently pushed the robe back making it fall in a lump at her feet.
“Go lay on the bed and spread your legs for me.” She hesitated for only a second.
I said I would let her have control, but tonight I needed it. I had no control over anything else in my life at that moment, so right then, I needed the control. Especially after the night I had.
I walked to the end of the bed as she got comfortable, resting her hands on her sides as she spread her legs for me.
I could see goose bumps on her body as she bit her lower lip and gazed at me with hooded eyes. She was wet for me and I licked my lips in anticipation. I had to hold myself back from diving right in. Not once did I go down on anyone else while Scarlett and I were apart. Her taste and her smell were burned into my receptors and I didn’t want anything else to fuck that up. And right then, I needed a little reminding.

Excerpt
“I might need some help getting all of this out of my hair. Do you know anyone that could help me?” She asked batting her eyes. Fuck, she was going to be the death of me. “I won’t bite I promise, not unless you want me to.” She said, throwing my words back at me that I had said to her before. She started walking back to my room and just before going through the door, she brought her shirt over head and dropped it to the floor without ever looking back at me. It didn’t take me long to make a decision.
By the time I had my clothes off she was already under the water. I could see the outline of her body through the frosted shower door. I swallowed hard before opening it up and joining her. She was facing away from me, and the water was cascading down her back onto that luscious ass of hers. I noticed she had a small tattoo of an angel’s halo, and wings on her left shoulder blade, and it looked sexy on her smooth skin. Stepping in behind her, I grabbed her by the waist. I knew she could feel how hard I already was for her. She pushed her hips back, putting pressure at the base of my dick. Turning around, she pressed herself up against me while she placed her hands around the back of my neck. She let out a soft moan as I rubbed the water around on her back and ass.
“Isaac, I know you said you wanted to wait, but I don’t think I can. I’ve been wanting to rub my hands all over your body since I first laid eyes on you. Please don’t make me wait.” She said in a pleading tone. I was so torn whether to be a good man and wait or to be greedy and make her mine. She must have sensed my inner fight I had going on. “I know we just met and you wanted to show me you could wait, but I need to touch you. We don’t have to have sex, just let me make you feel good.” Her hands were rubbing up and down my arms, and she was running her tongue along my collarbone. Shit, how could I say no to this?
