After a horrific breakup with her long-time boyfriend, Brooklyn Caldwell is completely disenchanted with the notion of mingling with the opposite sex. Damon Williams had been everything she thought she wanted…until he wasn’t.
In an attempt to escape her heartbreaking past, Brooklyn seeks refuge in bustling Washington DC where she folds into the fast paced society unnoticed…until she meets a young entrepreneur, Logan Colton.
Brooklyn is surprised to find that while she has been successful in keeping the opposite sex at bay, somehow she is defenceless against Logan’s confidence and charm—and it doesn’t hurt that he is absurdly beautiful. While thrilled with Logan’s candour, Brooklyn hesitates, as she can’t seem to move past the heartache that she suffered at the hands of Damon.
As much as Logan didn’t plan on pursuing her, he is drawn to Brooklyn’s muted beauty and her witty persona. For all his success, Logan is ensnared in the coveted world of unequivocal wealth and power, but behind closed doors is taunted by demons and an undeniable need to atone for a monumental mistake.
As the two embark on a tumultuous obstacle course saturated with unknown twists and turns, Brooklyn is left to question whether she can endure the journey ahead.

She knew her life was beyond perfect, she thought she had seen the worst of it. Now with a wedding to plan, her distant bestie and trying to forget about how broken she really is Dacey is trying to start her own new chapter…. But fear, ex-boyfriends and malicious uncles keep getting in her way. She thought she could handle it all. And then there’s Justin who has made it very clear that he wants to be more to her than just a friend, but is Dacey ready for that? Can “Anything” go right for Dacey? Ever?
“Aria!” I yelled holding the dress up in the front and trying to put on my shoes at the same time, unsuccessful multi-tasker right here. “Can you come and zip me up?”
“It’d be my greatest pleasure.” Said a voice that I had gone to long without hearing. Whipping around I came face to face with Justin and almost lost my shit. If I thought he could make a pair of worn jeans and a t-shirt look hot, I lost brain cells seeing him a suit. His broad shoulders and muscular arms showed ever so slightly underneath his crisp black shirt and back blazer, topped off with that ridiculous color tie. He had one hand tucked in his pants pocket that cause the material to bunch up in the front leaving very little to the imagination of, well everything that JP had to offer. His chuckling is what alerted me that I was staring at him like he was a piece of steak and hadn’t eaten in months. I nonchalantly licked my bottom lip to make sure I also hadn’t been drooling. Yea he was drool worthy right now.
“Bell.” He tilted his head to me. At least he wasn’t too mad to where he stopped using my nickname. It was then that I realized I was practically naked, I had the dress covering up the important bits but the way he looked at me made me feel completely bare.
“Oh um JP, I didn’t know you were here.” I stammered. What the heck was wrong with me?
“Clearly, or do you treat all visitors this way?” He had a glint to his eye that I didn’t want to recognize.
“No! You’re early.” Obviously, Dacey duh!
“Then I’m glad, turn around I’ll get that for you.” He stalked across the room to me. I didn’t want to see that predatory look in his eyes so I complied and held my breath.
“Your beautiful Bell, I love this color on you.” He whispered. He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer to him, and I could feel the heat radiating off his body through the sheer fabric of the dress. He reached out and slowly eased the zipper up, notch by painstakingly slow notch. When his warm hand touched my neck to move my hair to the side I almost jumped out of my skin. It sent a little shock though me that went all the way down to my toenail polish. He hooked the top of the dress and I felt him pulling me back further, until I was flush against his front. His fingers trailed a line of fire across my shoulder and down my arm. He had never touched me like this before, no one had ever touched me like this before, like my skim was the most delicate thing he had ever touched. I didn’t pull away, I couldn’t pull away because if I was being honest with myself, I liked it. I liked his hands on my skin caressing me and making me feel, alive.
“Dacey.”
My name came out on an exhale as he wound his hand around my waist to rest on my stomach, locking me in place. I turned my head to the side and his lips were in my line of sight and all I wanted to do was drown myself in them. I knew that if I did that there would be no going back, no more friends because I knew how he felt about me but did I feel that way about him? Really? I was lonely but is that enough to jeopardize my friendship?
“Knock-knock home girl you just about…” Blaze stood in the doorway of my room hand paused mid knock.
“Blaze.” I scrambled out of Justin’s hold and spun around, trying to hide the hot wave of embarrassment across my cheeks. I looked from Justin who didn’t looked ruffled at all and was sizing up Blaze. Blaze gave me a knowing look as well as eyeing Justin like the man candy he was. Where is a hole when you need one?

Passionate reader, blogger, publisher, and author.

Book: Don’t Let Go (A Full Heart Novella)
Author: M J Summers
Genre: Contemporary Romance
M.J. has been working on a little something sweet and savory for you while you wait for Breaking Love to be released…
Readers fell in love with Ben and Alicia’s picture-perfect marriage in BREAK IN TWO, but, for these two, the road to a happy ending hasn’t always been smooth.
Alicia Williams has been in love with Ben Mitchell since he picked her up out of the mud in elementary school.

Ben is forced to choose and he leaves Alicia behind – but dreams can change and regrets can grow. When Ben returns back home to the ranch in Colorado Springs, trying to re-discover the man he was meant to be, will the girl he can’t get off his mind still be waiting?
Join Ben and Alicia in DON’T LET GO as they fall in love and discover that sometimes life’s greatest adventure is the one you find at home.
MJ Summers currently resides in Canada, not far from the Rocky Mountains, with her husband, three young children and their goofy dog. When she’s not writing erotic novels she loves running, reading, going for long dinners with her girlfriends, swimming, and camping with her family.
“How about you and me pretend we are the only two people on this island and we’re staying for a good long time?” Ben nuzzled her neck for a moment and then found her earlobe with his lips, savouring it.
“Why, Ben,” Alicia said coyly, “if there is no one else on this island, that means we can do anything we like, anywhere we like . . .”
“Exactly,” Ben replied in a low, sexy tone as he slid his hand in between her thighs. Finding the high slit in her skirt, he ran his large hand along the silk of her legs, wasting no time in getting to her bikini bottoms. He toyed with the strings resting on her hips. One little tug and they would fall away from her, leaving her exposed under her skirt. Trailing kisses down her neck to her collarbone, he pulled at the strings. “I’ve been waiting to do that all day,” he murmured in her ear.
Alicia gasped a little at the thought of being so exposed to the world before she realized that they really were alone. She allowed herself to enjoy the hot breeze as it caressed her sensitive skin. “That’s kind of why I bought it.”
Ben’s fingers moved along the length of her sex, taking in its satin warmth. Alicia gave a little moan and turned to find his mouth with hers, feeling her body respond as it always did to Ben’s touch. After years of his kisses, she never stopped getting that thrill from feeling his lips on her. He kissed her the way he looked at her, as though she were the only woman to have ever inhabited the planet.
Sliding his fingertips gently into her, pressing his palm against her, rubbing with exactly the amount of pressure that he knew she loved, Ben knew every inch of her body, how she wanted to be touched, what she needed, and he took full advantage of that knowledge as he moved his other hand up over her breasts. Moving his fingers in tiny circles inside her, he could feel her press herself hungrily against his hand. It wasn’t long before they reached that exquisite moment when she tensed in long waves as commanding as those in the ocean nearby. Alicia bit down on her lip to stifle the loud cry that begged to erupt from her throat. Ben’s own breathing become ragged and his entire body hardened at the desire that was building up in him. He wanted her right there on that beach and he was going to have her.
It’s no secret that I loved everything JLA and was deeply affected when the Covenant series came to an end. Imagine my reaction when I learned she was starting a shiny new series about none other than Gargoyles! Who else used to race home after school and watch Gargoyles religiously?!
Needless to say I was super pumped! I mean I always thought gargoyles were kinda cool and Jennifer mixed in hot demons AND hot gargoyle and Boom, EPIC beginning to what I can only guess (or know) will be an EPIC series!
Layla is half-breed, a mute if you will mixed with half demon and half warden, or gargoyles who was raised by the wardens and taught to suppress her demon side. As the very they hunt, she tries to fight her urges of eating souls, courtesy of her demon mother. Layla can eat souls by the one thing every teenage girl longs to do; kissing. It’s the worst case of never been kissed in history, because her lips are like Rough from the X-men, one touch and BAM! No soul for you!
Because Layla is a half warden, unable to mate with the other wardens therefore not needing as much protection, she is allowed to attend public school and hangs out with friends where she is also able to tag demons, her own kind, for the wardens to hunt. With her feeling for her best friend and the only person she is close to, Zayne getting stronger she knows that she will never be able to be truly be happy. Enter Roth, an upper level demon bent on hanging around her and making her life miserable in school. Things get pretty intense when Roth turns out to be nothing like she thought upper level demons were and with secrets being kept and lies being told from left to right this book kept me up into the wee hours of the morning.
I love how Jennifer’s stories as actually based off of lore/legends and I found myself googling the various demons and monsters mentioned throughout the book. It made me wonder how long she researched of if she even researched at all or if this was random knowledge that she already knew, if so that makes her THAT much more amazing!
The story starts off slow, laying the back story and quickly picks up into action, humor, and romance, hot romance(of the YA variety) and doesn’t stop until the last page, leaving you wanting more! I am in dire need of the next installment and have great expectations for the Dark Elements series, this is another hit for Jennifer! And I’m totally not just saying that because she is a Supernatural fan either!
I was super excited to be able to read Rogue because after her Remy books I was like, okay how can you possibly top HIM?! Well, she has!
Everyone met Brooke’s best friends Melanie in Real, Mine and Remy but we really get to know her in Rogue. All her life Melanie has searched for the one, you know the one who will sweep her off her feet and look at her the way Remy looks at Brooke. Only Melanie goes through guys like water hoping she will find him in one of the many one night stands she has. She portrays a perfect image, perfect to her family, her friends but inside she feels loveless and alone. Until one rainy night..
Enters Greyson ‘Zero’ King… Right off the bat his first sentence had my brain fluttering… he was just so viral and dirty (in a totally hot and good way) and I loved him so hard from the line…
“I’ve got my **ck buried inches deep in a mewling women’s ***t..”
Yup that’s Greyson, bad boy, literally who is his father’s enforcer on loans owed to the underground, the arena in which Remy fights in. To get back what’s most precious to him he agrees to compete a list for his father of people who owe him money. He’s good at his job never-failing, never being seen and never getting distracted, until he meets Melanie.
“Who are you?” She asks me, Breathless and amazed.
“I’m the twisted version of your..Westley,” I say.
The chemistry when those two are together rivals Brooke and Remy’s on the stem-o-meter and speaking for myself, I LOVE the dirty talking they do to each other, it made the sex scenes that much more…gratifying(?). When Melanie finds out Greyson’s big secret she has to make the biggest decision of her life and I was on the edge of my seat with that decision!
“He makes me want to slap him and **ck him.”
It was great seeing a glimpse of Brooke and Remy and the gang and see who their lives were going, but I have to say that I wanted to SLAP the pee out of Pandora, it makes me really ach for RAW(her story) to see why she is such a major WITCH! She was for lack of a better term, **ck blocking Mel and Greyson at every turn! It really sets up for her story.
To say that I was blown away by this story, especially after hearing the original story of what this story was supposed to be, would be an understatement. Katy’s writing just gets better and better with each bad/troubled man that she writes about! I’m super excited about Raw and looking to add another book boyfriend to ever-growing list.
Charlotte McKendrick is your typical thirty-something stay-at-home mom. She has three beautiful children, a loving family, special friends, and the most wonderful, adoring husband. Her life is a dream.
Er . . . let’s try this again.
Charlotte McKendrick is not your typical thirty-something stay-at-home mom. Yes, she’s got three beautiful children, a loving family (all of them lingerers—you’ll see), and her friends are special, all right! As far as her wonderful, adoring husband, what a joke! That bastard abandoned her and the kids six months ago.
Now, she will do anything she can to survive and provide for her children. Even if it means signing on the dotted line . . .
Mitch Colton is the CEO of Colton Technologies. Most of his year is spent traveling around the world, bringing companies the latest innovations in automobile technology. He doesn’t have time for a traditional relationship and the BS that comes with it. He doesn’t do the “marriage” thing, the “kid” thing, and he certainly doesn’t do the “falling in love” thing. All that said, he still wants someone to come home to. Someone who will offer everything he wants, and nothing he doesn’t. He realizes loyalty paired with these kinds of demands won’t come cheap. No problem. What he doesn’t realize is that once Charlotte McKendrick signs that dotted line, he’ll be paying with a lot more than money.
I am a domestic engineer (born and raised in NJ) whose sole responsibility is to guide three young, impressionable kids into becoming phenomenal adults. This challenging yet rewarding work requires a lot of love (coffee), patience (wine), and determination (periodic exorcisms). I work this magic from the beautiful state of New Hampshire.
Before becoming a domestic goddess (not really), I spent over a decade in the medical field, where I wore more hats than the Queen.
I have loved the written word and the great escape it provides since I was a little girl. When I wasn’t reading about people and the places they lived, I was creating my own characters and adventures.
Finding myself again through my writing in The Lost & Found Series, The One, and The GEG Series has been nothing short of a dream come true. Also, it makes people feel better when I laugh randomly or talk to myself, knowing it’s my characters and not “the voices” . . . that would be creepy.
