Max Colton’s Road to Wonderland by H.A. Robinson

Published June 19, 2015 by bookbesties
Book: Max Colton’s Road to Wonderland
Author: H.A. Robinson
Genre: New Adult
Synopsis
Growing up with certain expectations and your entire life mapped out for you is never easy, but when the bar is set impossibly high, most would give up.
Not Max Colton.
Even as a child, his father is unrelenting. Discipline, rules and rigid control are all he knows. Nothing Max does is good enough, and no matter how hard he works, approval and recognition are always just out of reach.
From boarding school to university, Max gets a glimpse of the freedom he’s always been denied, and learns unexpected things about himself along the way. When he somehow finds himself thrust back under his father’s iron rod of control, that freedom proves harder to let go of than he anticipated and he finds himself caught in a balancing act between his lifelong battle for his father’s approval and living out his own hopes and dreams.
With loves found and lost and his friends at his side, Max has to navigate through the world one step at a time. People aren’t always as they seem, and every stone unturned reveals a new challenge, bringing him closer to a future that has always seemed elusive and uncertain.
A future that holds success, freedom and love he never expected to have.
A future that will offer loyal friends and a home that isn’t confined to a building.
A future that leads him to Wonderland.

In reality, she’s a support worker living in a small town in Cheshire, who would almost always choose fantasy over reality.

Frowning, I walk toward the door and notice it’s been left open. Outside are red drops scattered across the floor. I lean forward, so I can scour the premise, and that’s when I notice the pool of blood lying on the porch.
My eyes widen and I scream.
Stumbling backward inside the house, I slam the door shut with shaky hands.
That blood, is it Arthur’s? What’s going on? Is he here?
Shit, I knew it.
I immediately reach for my umbrella stand and fish out the rifle hidden behind all the umbrellas. I should’ve prepared more for this day, but I didn’t think it would arrive so soon. I lock and load the rifle, turning around quickly to surprise my attacker.
“Show yourself, you motherfucker,” I scream. “I know it’s you.”
“Hello, Vanessa ….” His voice brings me chills to the bone. “Long time, no see.”
“Get the fuck out of my house!” I yell, turning circles.
The voice is coming from everywhere, and I don’t know where he is. If I move, I’m afraid he’ll catch me.
All I hear is vicious, uncontrollable laughter. “Did you miss me? No need to be angry, I’m here now.”
“What do you want?” I scream.
“Oh … you know exactly what I want.” The grim harshness in his voice makes me tremble. “I told you that I’d come for you. Ready or not, here I come, Princess.”
“No! Stay away!” I scream, turning to the hallway. I could swear his voice came from there.
But there’s nothing to be seen.
Nothing except the filthy boot prints on the wooden floor behind me, leading into the hallway to the right.
I follow the trail into my living room, holding out my gun, ready to shoot if I must.
But then the trail suddenly ends.
My lips part in confusion as I wonder where in the hell the dirt has gone. I can’t find the boots anywhere. And then I realize what’s going on.
Too late.
Something is pulled over my head, pulling me into the dark. A bag.
His hands twist and twist until I choke. The gun drops to the floor. He’s suffocating me, and no matter how much I claw at the bag, it won’t break.

The last thing I hear before I pass out is, “Playtime is over. You can’t hide, Princess. Now you’re mine.”

Vicious Cycle by Katie Ashley Review

Published June 10, 2015 by bookbesties

bright pink coloured stars scattered on a black background

Fist off, ANY book that has a dedication to the one, the only, sex god Charlie Hunnam, I’m going to love it based on principle.

No, really, I fell in love with this book from the heart-wrenching opening describing what poor Willow had to go through then only to be thrust into a family she has never known and a father who seemingly doesn’t even like her.

Decon Malloy is your typical biker bad boy. Harsh, loud, viloent and sexy, let’s not forget sexyand the last thing he expected was a child from his long lost love that he never knew about, and he certainly didn’t expect to have to take her in upon finding out that said once love of his life is dead. If it wasn’t for his mom and her sense of family, he would just as soon as dropped her off to CPS, than have her live with him. BUt being adopted and having a not so great child-hoop post adoption has him more inclined to listen to his mother and keep Willow with the family.

In walks Alex, Willows sexy and totally off- limits teacher who has an eerily close background as poor Willow and instantly bonds with the child. I loved the total opposite ends of the spectrum we get the story told as it’s in dual POV’s which I LOVE!

Alex is so prim and proper, Ann of Green Gables and Decon is, well, not that!  At first he tries to push her off on someone else and I was not particularly happy with the way that story was going, but i forced myself to keep reading because katie wouldn’t do that to me right?! I’m glad I did. not only did things start heating up, but the plot, as they say thickens when Alex has a threat made on her life, just for hanging around the MC and teaching Willow, who was not allowed to attend school because of said threat.

What I loved, Loved, Loved about this book was that, while i’m all for love at first sight books, this was not one of those. Not only did Deacon and Alex’s love happen over a period of time but so did Deacon’s and Willow, Willow and Alex and Willow and the rest of the family. It was heartwarming to see the love Deacon had for his daughter grow and by the end I was deeply satisfied with how things turned out!

I will be the first in line for the second book, thank you Katie Ashley for a story well told!

Courtship of the Cake(Much “I Do” About Nothing #2) Review

Published June 9, 2015 by bookbesties

Courtship of the Cake (Much "I Do" About Nothing, #2)

“Always a bridesmaid, never a bride” has suited Danica James just fine…until the mysterious man who crashed her sister’s wedding steals her heart, leaves a slice of groom’s cake under her pillow, and then disappears. Hoping to forget her unforgettable fling, Dani takes a job as a backstage masseuse for a rock music festival, not expecting the tour’s headlining bad boy to make an offer she can’t refuse. Nash Drama needs a fiancée—and fast…
Mick Spencer is the best wedding cake designer in New Hope and the town’s most eligible bachelor. But despite the bevy of bridesmaids he’s sampled, Mick can’t get the evening he spent with Dani out of his mind.
So when she shows up for a cake tasting at the Night Kitchen—with his former best friend’s ring on her finger—Mick vows to charm the woman of his dreams into choosing a sweet and sinful ever after, with him…

bright pink coloured stars scattered on a black background

Let’s begin with I do not think there will be any book that Jessica Topper will write that I will not love due to the simple fact that her writing and character development is amazing.  I love, love, loved Dictatorship of the Dress and have fallen in love with Laney and Noah.  Now Dani, Mick, Bear and Angie have joined the family.

As someone who has lived the event, losing your self in others due to a heart wrenching and life defining event, the going through people to qualify yourself in your eyes as meaning something, and being worthwhile to someone, I can relate to the choices that Dani has made.  Being lost in something as fantastic as a music festival and being singled out by one of the headliners, I would have totally jumped on that bandwagon.  I love that she confronted her past by letting in her best friend and took steps to get past it, this was more than I have ever done, and in the end it let her return to Mick as a new person ready to embrace love, romance, and togetherness in a long term way that she has not before.

I enjoyed the relations, innuendo, and sexual tension that build between Mick and Dani.  His comments, staying close to her, the thoughtfulness he puts into doing things with and for her; her description of coming in on him cooking shirtless, barefoot, and only in jeans is hot!  Even with this, there is no real action or interaction between the characters until the end.  But that ending, Mick was there and ready; he did not give Dani the chance to get cold feet, he showed here just what to look forward to being together.

I love this book, the author, and the way it is written.

Leather
& Lace: Inferno Glory MC by: J.A. Fredericks

GENRE:
Contemporary erotica

RELEASE
DATE:
July 2015

 
 
SYNOPSIS:
 
The day Harley Sonnick is released from
a three year prison sentence for a crime she didn’t willingly commit, she
returns to the only family she has left—the Inferno Glory MC. But the club’s
president isn’t ready to forgive her for past sins and turns her away, forcing
her to trust in a new club member who’s arguably the sexiest man she’s ever
laid eyes on.

Colt Sawyer, a young military veteran like the other MC members, is elusive and
doesn’t have much to do with the women throwing themselves at him until Harley
comes riding into his life on her own motorcycle. Together with his best friend
and fellow MC member Ranger, Colt will do everything in his power to remind
Harley what it’s like to be pleasured by a man and make her feel at home
despite the reluctance of the MC.

Things take an unexpected turn when Harley’s worldly possessions are ripped
away, forcing her to rethink her future. But she isn’t a pathetic princess in
need of saving and is reluctant to accept help. Prison made her hard, forcing
her to guard her feelings at all costs. So when dark, blue eyed Colt does
inexplicable things to both her body and heart, she’s forced down a dark path
of passion and desire that threatens all the safeguards she’s set in
place. 

 
 
 
Excerpt:
 
Fourth shot of Jack
held in the air, I salute the guys. The brown liquid sloshes over the side. “I
hope you boys like what I’m wearing because I’ll be wearing it for a looong
fucking time. I’m brokety-broke.”
 
“We’ll get you new
clothes,” Colt growls, prying the shot glass from my hand. “Whatever you need,
darlin.’ You let us know and we’ll take care of it.”
 
I ogle him for a
long moment, wondering how he’s even sexier when I’m fueled with booze. Now
that I have liquid courage, it’d be easier to finally get a taste of his
splendid mouth and run my tongue all over his giant muscles.
 
Shaking the
thoughts from my head, I release a nasally laugh. “Could you get me a new life?
‘Cause I fucked mine up. Royally.” Swiping the shot back from Colt, I
slurp it down in one swallow. “More shots!” I call to the bartender, slamming
the empty glass on the wooden bar top.
 
“No, we’re good,
Christine,” Colt tells the surly, old woman behind the bar. She shakes her head
and leaves us to attend to the only other patron drinking before noon.
 
“You’re young,
Harley,” Ranger says from Colt’s other side, drinking from his glass of
whiskey. “Whatever happened, you’ve got time to bounce back.”
 
“Bounce back?” I
ask with a hiccup. “Kinda hard to bounce back without a cent to my name and a record.”
I study the two hunks with the only eye that will stay open. They’re
collectively so damn hot I’m ready to take them both on the bar-top. “Either of
you boys have a record? And I don’t mean the kind that go round and round.”
 
Colt’s brows knit
together. “You’ve done time?”
 
“Three years, just
got out yesterday.” They may as well know the whole truth about me if Remmy
hasn’t told them already. “It’s the reason I’m homeless and family-less and
completely without anyone who could give a fuck about me.” I turn to rest my
elbow on the bar, but miss and about topple off the stool while laughing my ass
off. “And now I don’t even have any underwear! Can you fuckin’ believe that?”
 
Colt rises and
hooks his arm around my waist. “Time to get you out of here.” He hoists me over
his shoulder so my jean-clad ass is in the air.
 
“Put me the fuck
down!” I yell, beating my fists against the back of his leather coat and
kicking my legs through the air. “You can’t just fuckin’ man-handle people like
this!”
 
Ignoring my best
efforts, Colt laughs as he slaps a hand-full of bills on the bar. “Thanks,
Christine. Ranger, let’s roll.”
 
“Be there in a
minute, hoss,” Ranger answers, chuckling.
 
I fight Colt the
whole way to the pickup where he dumps my ass on the seat like a sack of
potatoes before sliding in next to me. When I swing my fist at him, he wrestles
me down onto my back, pinning my arms at my sides with one arm braced across my
body. His beautiful eyes are hard as he hovers over me, using his free hand to
flip his hair behind an ear. “Stop fightin’ me darlin,’” he breaths heavily,
our lips enticingly close. “You may think nobody gives a fuck, but I do
and I’m here for you.”
 
Frozen by the
enduring look he’s giving me, I become limp beneath him and inhale his enticing
scent. Then the exquisite cock I got a preview of earlier stirs to life between
us, locking my breath in my chest. His grip around my wrists loosens as the
expression on his face morphs into something raw and primal that does
unexplainable things to my insides.
 
Oh god. I’ve never
wanted someone this way.
 
Just as I bite my
lip with the thought of bringing my mouth up to meet his, the driver’s door
creaks opens behind me. “You two need alone time?” Ranger asks, his voice wavering
with amusement.
 
The kind of phenomenal sexy smile that
could impregnate a virgin spreads across Colt’s lips and he laughs, sky-blue
eyes still staring down on me. “Let’s go get this girl some new panties.”

Excerpt


The Mayor was seated at one of the couches and stood as Robert approached. The admin offered a drink, which Robert declined. The men shook hands and Robert noticed that the aid left the office with the admin. There were several folders spread across the table in front of them, along with a tall glass of orange juice. He had heard that the Mayor was cutting back on his caffeine.
“Robert… may I call you Robert?”
“Yes sir, Robert is just fine. How can I help you today?”
“First, I wanted to thank you for stopping by on such short notice. I heard you were in the building and I had a meeting cancel on me. So this seemed like an opportunity I couldn’t pass up on. I understand that your soccer tournament was incredibly successful. My nephew was on one of the teams and his family came for dinner on Sunday. I hope we will see many more of these types of tournaments, they are vital to the kids in our communities and highlight so well the good things being done.”
“Thank you, Sir. That is very kind of you, and I am glad to hear your nephew enjoyed it. My son had a wonderful time as well. But, I don’t think that was why you really called me in here?”
“Very perceptive as always, Robert. No, it’s not. There is a couple of things that I wanted to discuss. The first is that the city will be awarding you with a Man of the City award. This usually goes through a media person, but I wanted to tell you myself. This is not a politically motivated award at all. Please believe that. What you did for that neighborhood, the park, and the kids all over the city is nothing short of amazing. I am personally proud to know you. Thank you.”
As the Mayor continued to speak he reached over and shook hands with him again. “My media group will be reaching out to your folks. I will defer to you as to how we do this, but I was hoping you would accept it at a fundraiser I am having in a couple of months. The fundraiser is actually for the Policeman’s Widows and Orphan’s Fund. Given your history I thought that would be appropriate.”
“Thank you, Mr. Mayor. That is incredibly kind of you to say. I will do my best to be available. Have your team call my office and I will make sure that Jennifer knows to make me available.”
Before The Mayor spoke he handed Robert a file. “This is for your eyes only Robert. There is an opportunity for an investment that I think you might enjoy. Because of the investment itself the city has to be involved. While not owners, partners, or investors, the city has a vested interest so we sit on the board. As I said, this is highly confidential and has not been publicized by anyone. Those involved are doing their best to keep it as quiet as possible. As you will see when you take a look, as soon as the process is officially started it becomes public knowledge.
I will warn you of one thing should you decide to move forward. Because of the investment it requires intense scrutiny by several very public organizations, including the federal government. I am only telling you this because of what Moffit is up to. Between me and you, he is on a witch hunt for no apparent reason except that I know he is up for reelection next year, and he may have a serious competitor.”
“Thank you, Mr. Mayor for this opportunity. I will take a look at it carefully. I hope you did not put yourself into any unfavorable positions by giving me this. You have been an asset to this city.”
The Mayor chuckled at this. “Thanks, Robert, I don’t usually get business approving of my politics. And no, as an interested ‘silent’ partner the city is permitted to recommend people for the investment.”
Both men stood and shook hands briefly. “Robert, I will keep an eye on the DA but I can’t do anything more than that. Unless of course he steps out of line.”
“Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I look forward to hearing from your media team and it will be an honor to accept the award from you.”
