That Man 4 (The Wedding Story Part 1) by Nelle L'Amour
Review by Jennifer Ballam
Stars: 5 

I. LOVE. THIS. SERIES.

When the series ‘ended’ with That Man 3, like many other readers I was sobbing into my glass at not reading about Blake, Mr Burns, and their Tiger (if you’ve read the series you’ll understand the reference to a certain part of Blake’s anatomy). So like many other readers I was cracking open a bottle when the news came that not only was there going to be a That Man 4 but also a That Man 5 (due in December). We were going to be with them on their journey after the proposal to the wedding.

We have all the old characters here, I’ve already mentioned Blake, Mr Burns, Tiger aka Jennifer, but also Kitty Kat (I know, I groaned too), Blake’s Gran (who wouldn’t be pleased to see the return of the sex crazed granny!?), Chaz, Jamie Zander, Libby to name but a few.

Instead of a bridzilla we instead get a… is plannerzilla a term? One who hasn’t heard of the saying ‘less is more’ it would seem. One who seems to view the bride as an inconvenience to her organisation and one whose daughter happens to be none other than Kitty Kat herself. Prepare for claws at dawn….

Now I know that I mentioned that there was one final instalment so (sighing and groaning at the same time) there is no ending to the story. In true NellĂ© L’Amour fashion we have a jaw dropping cliffhanger, one that left me going ‘NOOOOOOOO’ and having to reassure myself that we were promised a wedding. That means that Jennifer couldn’t be…. I mean she wouldn’t would she…. (evil reviewer laugh). Read it to see what I mean, you won’t regret it.

Please note I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.



Excerpt
“Are you ready for part two of this gift?” My tiger eyed me suspiciously. “And that would be—” “The fun part. You get to ride me.” Jen’s face lit up like a little kid about to go on one of those coin-operated mechanical horsey rides. Wasting no time, she tore off my boxers she had on and repositioned herself, straddling my lap with my cock impaled inside her. Gripping her hips, I bucked her hard as she rode me up and down. I hissed. Fuck, yeah! This was good. So fucking good and for both of us. Holding on to my shoulders, she got to control the pace while I got to go as deep and as hard as I could. I repeatedly hit her G-spot with each powerful thrust. She shrieked with pleasure each time I did. I gazed at her heated face. Her head arched back, she looked so impassioned, and I was mesmerized by the way the dangling earrings I’d just given her shook and shimmered. Quivering as if they were having little orgasms of their own. I was tempted to nibble her lobes but worried in my state of lust I might bite off an earring and swallow it whole. I gripped her hips tighter as she accelerated her pace. The friction and heat of her rubbing against my thick length felt so fucking amazing. “Do you like your present?” “Oh, God, yes!” she panted out. “I’m so close to coming!” “Good, baby,” I groaned. On the next deep thrust, she fell apart with a thunderous “Yes” and I could feel her throbbing all around my pulsing cock. Her body shook as I grunted out my own explosive climax and met hers full on. Spent and sweaty, we collapsed onto each other, her arms wrapping around me. We stayed in that position for several sweet minutes as we rode our orgasms out. Five minutes later, we were nestled side by side, her head resting on my chest. We were almost recovered. Now close to five, the sun had begun its disappearing act and cast a mellow amber glow. Jen traced lazy, ticklish circles on my chest. “Baby, I’ll never be able to top that birthday present.” I playfully flicked the tip of her cute upturned nose. “Don’t worry, you will.” “Do you have something in mind?” “Yeah, I do.” I was turning the big three-O. “How ‘bout a hint?” “I want to wake up to my wife.” I felt her jolt against me. “What are you saying, Blake?” “What I’m saying is that I want to marry you on the day before my birthday.” “December twentieth? Gosh, Blake. That’s only two months away.” “Jen, we’ve been engaged for over five months and it’s time to set a date. My mother has been driving me crazy.” Jen giggled. “Mine too. I keep telling her that we’ve just been too busy at work.” Which was true. Except I’d checked our calendars and had come to the conclusion that Saturday, the twentieth, would be a perfect time to get married. With Christmas around the corner, most of our SIN-TV productions would be shut down and our offices would be closed until January third—giving us an opportunity to go on a two-week honeymoon. I explained all this to Jen. She agreed. It made total sense. She rolled on top of me and gave me a hot spontaneous kiss. “Oh my God, Blake, we’re really going to get married!” The excitement in her voice was contagious. I smashed my lips against hers. “Yes, you’re going to become Mrs. Blake Burns, and tonight we’re going to break the news to our parents.” “My mother is going to be so excited!” Jen beamed. “She’s been planning our wedding forever.” I didn’t know if Jen could feel my heart skip a beat. I quietly gulped. And so had my mother. Instead of letting her know this, I urged her to take a shower with me and get ready for our dinner. The future Mrs. Blake Burns had another surprise in store.     That man banner

Imperfect Mate (Harmony Springs Series #1) by Lia Davis ~*~*~*~ Blog Tour, Review & Giveaway





Imperfect Mate
(Harmony Springs Series, Bk #1)
By Lia Davis

Blurb:
For tiger-shifter, Samira Anderson, leaving home for the first time to attend Harmony University should unnerve her. She’s never submitted to the fear of a challenge and doesn’t plan to start now. Meeting her dorm mates and touring the campus excites her and her cat. Although when she meets Gavin Stone, she’s not only nervous around him but fears she might lose the tight control she has over her tiger.

After a bad break up with his high school sweetheart, Gavin has no intentions of repeating past mistakes. Or so he thought until he sees the beautiful, smart, Samira at the dorm welcome party. Drawn to her like no other, he can’t stay away or shake the feeling Sam isn’t telling him everything.

When he discovers her secrets, a whole new world opens to him, filled with danger, unknown possibilities, and a passion so intense it could last many lifetimes.

Excerpt


She swallowed and nodded. Words were so hard to form when she stared into his chocolate gaze. He took a step forward, closing the small distance between them, and her heartbeat quickened, her palms dampened.

He lifted his hand and brushed stray hairs from her face. Her skin tingled where his fingertips touched. “You have beautiful eyes.”

Crap. She lowered her eyes, afraid they’d gone cat. Her senses were too alive, too hypersensitive to him. She needed to leave but couldn’t go back to the party, and she damn sure couldn’t go to Dev.

“Did I say something to upset you?”

Returning her attention to Gavin, she offered him a forced smile. “We’ve reached the stream.”

Glancing to the side, he nodded and tugged her toward it. “I can’t swim, but I love the sound of water.”

She relaxed at his confession and took off her shoes. Sitting on the edge of the bank, she slipped her feet into the icy water. “Oh, it’s cold. Put your feet in.”

Shaking his head, he sat next to her while folding his legs into a pretzel. “I’ll pass.”

“So, this is your second year at Harmony?”

“Yep. It’s a good school. Not too big, you know. Then again, I don’t really go anywhere other than my dorm and to classes. I usually go home on the weekends, summer, and holidays.”

She swirled her legs in circles. “Yeah, I can see that. This sound silly, but this is my first time leaving home.”

He closed his warm hand around hers. The wild fire returned with vengeance, making her tiger pace under her skin, too close to the edge. She faced him and stared into his brown eyes. Big mistake. Desire she hadn’t noticed earlier reached out to her empathy, intensifying her own needs. When he cupped her face, liquid heat pooled between her thighs. Oh, God, she wanted to kiss him, possess him.

I HEART BOOKS REVIEW


Imperfect Mate (Harmony Springs Series #1) by Lia Davis
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5

This tiger has bite!

Loving this new series about shifters going off on their own for the first time. In many of the books I read the shifters are well known in their communities and do not have to attempt to hide from humans. So I really enjoyed seeing this different perspective. Our heroine is a dominant female which is awesome, of course, but there are all sorts of characters to meet - geeks, weasels (and not the shifting type), and submissives. And now a bit about the story...

Sam is heading for Harmony University to complete her degree outside of her pride. This is a big step for her and even though her cousin is already there she is still nervous. Her first night there is a large party at their house and she meets Gavin. As with any college party you never know how things will end... 

Favorite passages:
- The urge to taste her had been too strong, an unseen force drawing them together like polar opposites.
- "If you touch another female on this campus, it'll be the last thing you do."

Wasted Love (Brooklyn #1) by Danielle Jamie ~*~*~*~ Blog Tour, Giveaway & Review




Title: Wasted Love
Series: Brooklyn #1
 Author: Danielle Jamie
 Release Date: October 28, 2014



WARNING

Prepare to laugh your butt off and become extremely hot & bothered! Brooklyn Bennett breaks the mold when it comes to female heroines she is not your average chick! She loves sex, hot guys, and her best friend Savannah fiercely and has a slight obsession with Jared Leto.



SYNOPSIS

You got to know me in my best friend Savannah’s series. Now it’s my turn to tell you my story and for you to see my best friend's journey to her happily ever after through my eyes.

My life is far from the norm. First off, I’m not your average girl. I’m wild, crazy, and everyone who knows me say’s I’m a free spirit. I guess I am, because I don’t sweat the little things.

Life is too short.

I love hard and live harder. My dream is to become a star and that dream comes first and foremost before anything and anyone...except for my best friend Savannah, who I'd go to hell and back for. At 24 years old, I’m not looking for love. I’m just looking for a good time and a nice distraction after busting my butt on a movie set all week. The thought of falling in love has never crossed my mind. I’m too driven for love and everything that comes with it.

That is until I meet a certain Southern hottie by the name of Dixon Beaumont, who just so happens to be the cousin of Kayden Knox. He flips my world upside down the moment we meet.

The only problem is he’s the male version of me: Career driven and enjoying having a good time with no plans on settling down.

Throw in a bad boy rocker and a sweet Aussie and I find myself going from a simple, carefree life to a full-blown love square. It’s going to be dramatic. But hey, what’s life without a little drama?

Wasted Love (Brooklyn #1) by Danielle Jamie
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5 

From fun and flirty to hot and steamy in no time ;)

I've missed Brooklyn, she is fun, sassy, and knows what she wants. At least she has known for the last 5 years. Dixon has her wanting and feeling things she's not sure she wants to feel... Brooklyn's series starts about the same time as Savannah's story does and I love re-reading bits of the story from Brooklyn and Dixon's POV. I'd even forgotten some parts so I was surprised when they happened! The only bad park is now I have to wait until early next year for book #2... I read all of the Savannah books back to back. And now a bit about the story...

Brooklyn is an up and coming actress and Savannah is her best friend. When Savannah moves to Galveston, Texas to be near her boyfriend Kayden Knox, Brooklyn decides to move with her and just fly in for her movie shoots as needed. Next Brooklyn wants to snag herself a Texas cowboy! After hooking up with Xander, the lead singer of Slither Tongue, and Jax, Knox's Australian bodyguard and friend, she still wants Dixon, Knox's cousin. She is thinking he should be off limits, but that only makes the attraction stronger. Will she waste this opportunity to love?

Favorite passages:
- I take in the five guys at the table; four of them attractive. I definitely wouldn't turn them away if I accidentally discovered one of the naked in a guest room while roaming around this place.
- And this feeling of jealousy? I hate it. I don't do jealous. I'm not a fucking chick, for Christ's sake.
- "You can touch me, you know. I don't bite...well, not unless you ask me to first."
- 'Not all who wander are lost.'
- What the hell is wrong with me? Did I go to sleep with a dick and wake up with a fricking vagina? I don't feel shit. Girls feel; I just fuck.
- I can't wait to see which Dixon is at this party: fun and flirty Dixon, or dickhead Dixon.
- I reach up and cup my balls through my jeans...still got 'em. For a moment there, I thought I lost my balls when the idea crossed my mind to put my controller down and see if Brooklyn had texted me back.




TRAILER



EXCERPT 

I can feel my bed dip slightly as I sense someone climbing into bed and lying beside me. The heat from their body travels through my thin cami. I know I’m not dreaming as soon as I feel a hand touch my thigh and slowly begin to travel up my side.

I’m lying on my side, facing the large wall of windows that overlook Houston as the moonlight glistens through the room. Other than the light from the moon and the clock on my stand, the entire bedroom in engulfed in darkness.

I blink, trying to get my eyes to focus. Everything is blurry, and my body feels as if it’s still in a dream. I glance towards the glowing clock on the nightstand to see what time it is. It’s just a little after six in the morning; I’ve only been asleep for a few hours.

Rolling onto my back, I raise my hands up above my head to stretch, causing a tiny squeak to slip out of my mouth. Coming into focus beside me is Jax.

Am I still dreaming?

Pinching a piece of skin on my forearm, I shout, “Ouch…I guess I’m not dreaming?” and let out a small giggle.

Jax’s eyes smile down at me, glowing in the moonlight illuminating my bed. “Nope. You’re definitely not dreamin’, baby.” His words, mixed with the sensation of his fingers trailing up and down my thigh, cause my body to erupt in goose bumps. My core tightens with anticipation as his fingers slowly slide higher up my leg and work their way towards my inner thigh.

Closing my eyes momentarily, I inhale deeply before opening my eyes and locking them with Jax’s.

“You came back?”

His hand stops moving, and he gives my leg a gentle squeeze. “I couldn’t sleep. I’ve been tossing and turning in there all night. The image of you half-naked in here with just a thin wall between us was driving me absolutely mad.”

He’s leaning on his left arm, with his head resting in the palm of his hand as his brown eyes search my face. His fingers begin their course again, making their way up my body agonizingly slowly. Just as his fingers get to the edge of my panties, he runs them over the thin fabric separating us, causing my eyes to slam back shut and a shudder to shoot through my sex as it clenches with anticipation of his fingers entering me.

Finally, after what feels like an eternity, he slides the thin fabric of my panties to the side, all the while never taking his eyes off mine. With a perfect pace, he begins moving his fingers over my sex, spreading my juices from my entrance to my clit.

My eyes momentarily roll back as I feel a spark ignite in my core.
“This is your last chance to back out, Brooklyn. Once I start, there’s no way in hell I’ll be able to stop.”
