He’s loved me since the day I was born.

He’s taken care of me.

He’s awakened me.

Tor. My father’s best friend.

Fifteen years older than me, he’s always been my protector. The one I should never, ever want.

But I was born to be his.

She’s always loved me.

She’s shattered me.

She’s healed me.

Kenzi. My best friend’s daughter.

I held her the day she was born, and I never let go.

She’s forbidden to me. But she’s the only one that really gets me.

We’re slowly being torn apart by everything we love.

Everything we want.

Everything we desire.

And now I want the one thing I can’t have... I want her.

Excerpt

Prologue

Kenzi one day old

Toren fifteen years old

“We want you to be her Godfather,” Asher says as he gently lays his newborn baby into my arms. I have to tear my gaze away from her spellbinding eyes to look up at him from the chair I’m cradling the baby in.

“Me?” I repeat, glancing over at Ember in the hospital bed, who beams back at me with a tired, yet genuine smile.

“Yes, you,” they both say at the same time. “If it wasn’t for you, we probably never would have met,” Ember adds, grabbing Asher’s hand. “And we wouldn’t have this beautiful little baby. We know you’ll always protect her.”

“That’s right, man. You’re Uncle Tor now.”

I’m an uncle. And my two best friends are parents. And we’re all fuckin’ under sixteen.

But Kenzi Allyster Valentine would change us all forever. She needed us.

“Wow. I’m honored, guys. No doubt, I’ll always be here for her.”

I kick back the pang that hits my stomach. I didn’t get the girl…but I got something better that I never expected. A gift in the form of a little tiny hand wrapped tightly around my finger, huge eyes like gems staring up into mine like I was the most amazing person in the friggen’ world, and the first glimpse of what I could already tell was going to be a heart-stopping smile.

At that moment, a connection was born.

That was it.

She owned me.

My niece.

My god-daughter.

The love of my life.

Author Bio

I have a passion for the bad boys, those covered in tattoos, sexy smirks, ripped jeans, fast cars, motorcycles and of course, the sweet girls that try to tame them and win their hearts. My debut series, Ashes & Embers, follows the lives of rock band members as they find, and sometimes lose, the loves of their lives.

Born and raised a Jersey girl, I now reside in beautiful New Hampshire with my husband and our multitude of furry pets and spend most of my time writing, reading, and vacuuming.

Hunter (Campus Kings): A Football Secret Baby Novel (Campus Kings #1) by Celia Loren

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review!

Apparently at some point I signed up for an ARC from Celia Loren. Boy am I glad that I did.

This book is hands down the best secret baby sports romance EVER!

Hunter Phillips has stolen my book boyfriend heart. Talk about bad boy reformation! When this dude falls, he falls HARD!

Britt is an amazing heroine. While I didn't necessarily agree with her reasoning for leaving Hunter, I was extremely happy that they were able to overcome the obstacles and enjoy their HEA!

I highly recommend this book! However don't start it late at night, or you will be dragging your butt into work the next morning.

Stepdaddy Savage by Charleigh Rose

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

I don't know where to begin on the review. The blurb sucked me in, as did the first few pages, but once Dahlia called Graham Daddy, the book lost its appeal quickly.

Don't get me wrong is a great step-dad romance, I just realized it's not the genre for me.

If you take out the daddy talk this book is Hot!

Savage by Kat Austen

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review!

This is the second book I have read by Kat Austen, and holey moley does she do an amazing job writing this book. The plot line is way out there but the inner dirty girl would love to be marooned on an inhabited island with a hot man. I mean who wouldn't like that?

If you haven't read any books by Kate Austen, then you are missing out. If you need a quick dirty read, then this is your book.

Cover Reveal! Reaper by Geri Glenn

3..2..1..

COVER & BLURB REVEAL

Anna

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. In fact, some of them almost ruined me. But I am a good person. I want to make amends. I want to fix things with my sister and finally have my life back. I want to change, and I’m trying. But I just can't let the past go.

Reaper doesn't make it easy for me. He hates me with a passion. He’s vowed to do whatever he can to get me out of my sister’s life and away from his club. It doesn’t matter. He won't stop me. No matter how terrified of him I am, nothing is going to stop me from changing my destiny and trying to fix the wrongs from my past. Especially when my secret is discovered, giving him all the ammunition he needs.

Reaper

After what seems like an endless stream of problems, things are finally going well with the club. We’re finally getting back to some semblance of normal after the chaos she brought with her before she was sent away. But now she’s back.

She says she’s changed, and maybe she has, but I don’t care. She is the reason it all started, and she’s not welcome here. I will stop at nothing to get her out. I won’t rest until she’s gone. Her beauty will not distract me, and her history doesn’t even matter. I will get Anna away from my club, or die trying.

There will be no pre-order for Reaper. The expected release date will be mid-late October. To be sure you don't miss the release, be sure to sign up for Geri's mailing list so you can be guaranteed an email on release day or follow her on Amazon.

Geri On Amazon: amazon.com/author/geriglenn

Geri Glenn is the debut author of the Kings of Korruption MC Series. The first book, titled Ryker, is releasing on August 14, 2015, and can be read as a standalone.

Geri has been an avid reader for as long as she can remember. She can usually be found curled up in a comfy chair, reading on her iPad both day and night. Geri is an incurable night owl, and it's not uncommon for her to still be awake, reading at 4 am, just because she can't put the book down!

Geri loves all genres of fiction, but her passion is anything romantic or terrifying; basically anything that can get her heart pumping. This passion has bled out onto her laptop, and became the Kings of Korruption.

Writing this first book in the series knocked off the #1 thing on Geri's bucket list, and publishing it has been an absolute dream come true. She hopes you love the Kings as much as she does.

King of Wall Street by Louise Bay

King of Wall Street by Louise Bay
Release Date: August 24th

Synopsis:

AN AMBITIOUS BOMBSHELL IS ABOUT TO BRING THE KING OF WALL STREET TO HIS KNEES.

I keep my two worlds separate.

At work, I’m King of Wall Street. The heaviest hitters in Manhattan come to me to make money. They do whatever I say because I’m always right. I’m shrewd. Exacting. Some say ruthless.

At home, I’m a single dad trying to keep his fourteen year old daughter a kid for as long as possible. If my daughter does what I say, somewhere there’s a snowball surviving in hell. And nothing I say is ever right.

When Harper Jayne starts as a junior researcher at my firm, the barriers between my worlds begin to dissolve. She’s the most infuriating woman I’ve ever worked with.

I don’t like the way she bends over the photocopier—it makes my mouth water.

I hate the way she’s so eager to do a good job—it makes my dick twitch.

And I can’t stand the way she wears her hair up exposing her long neck. It makes me want to strip her naked, bend her over my desk and trail my tongue all over her body.

If my two worlds are going to collide, Harper Jayne will have to learn that I don't just rule the boardroom. I’m in charge of the bedroom, too.

Excerpt:

I’d been desperate to work for Max King since before I enrolled at business school. He was the power behind the throne of many of the Wall Street success stories in the last few years. King & Associates provided investment banks with critical research that helped their investment decisions. I liked the idea that there were a ton of flashy suits from investment banks shouting about how rich they were and the man who had made it happen was happy to go quietly about his business, just being amazing at what he did. Understated, determined, supremely successful—he was everything I wanted to be. When I got the offer during my final semester to be a junior researcher at King & Associates, I was thrilled, but I also felt an odd sense that the universe was simply unravelling how it should, as though it was simply the next step in my destiny.

Destiny could kiss my ass. My first six weeks in my new position had been nothing I’d expected. I’d assumed I’d be surrounded by ambitious, intelligent, well-dressed twenty and thirty somethings and I’d been right about that. And the clients we worked for—almost every investment bank in Manhattan—were phenomenal and lived up to every expectation I’d had. Max King, however, had turned out to be a huge letdown. The fact was, despite being crazy smart, respected by everyone on Wall Street, and looking as if he should have been on a poster on teenage me’s bedroom wall, he was . . .

Cold.

Blunt.

Uncompromising.

A total asshole.

He was as handsome in real life as he was in his picture on the cover of Forbes or any of the other publicity shots I’d clicked through as I stalked him during my MBA at Berkeley. One morning, I’d arrived super early, seen him in his running gear—sweaty, panting, Lycra clad. Thighs so strong they looked as if they might be made of marble. Broad shoulders; a strong Roman nose; dark-brown, glossy hair—the kind wasted on a man—and a year-round tan that screamed, I vacation four times a year. In the office he wore custom suits. Handmade suits fell a particular way on the shoulders that I recognized from the few meetings I’d had with my father. His face and body lived up to every expectation I’d had. Working with him, not so much.

Dirty Deuce: A Short, Kinky Tale (Shameless Shorts Book 1)

If you like Alexa Riley, then you are gonna to love Lacie D. She will make you blush and change your panties all after the first chapter.

Holy mother of God! You want to talk about a quick dirty read. Wowza!

I have read all of Lacie D's books, and this book is by far the dirtiest I have ever read. I LOVED IT!

This book follows two sets of twins who marry each other (no incest). On the honeymoon, the grooms Mason and Zach devise a plan to give the women passion like they have never had. Mason's the alpha, he wants to possess you. Zach wants to make sweet love to you.

A few drinks, a letter mix up, and a night of passion. 'Nough said.

Bound & SEAL'D: A Bad Boy Navy SEAL Romance by Kara Hart

This is the second book I have read by Kara Hart and it was flippin awesome! I'm not much on reading military/veteran romances as I find myself critiquing them. However I didn't do that at all with this book.

I found this book to be very entertaining and very believable. Everything that Colt talked about made since.

Lena kind of ticked me off, but by the end I feel in love with her character.

I'm really excited to see what Ms. Hart has up her sleeve. I'm sure it will keep me up like this book did. Be warned once you stay this book, you won't be putting it down anytime soon.

Wrecked: A Bad Boy Outlaw Romance by Teagan Kade

Wow! Teagan Kade sure knows how to tell a story. Romance, Mystery, and Smut you say? Don't mind if I do.

What a great story about finding love when you least expect it.

Dirty Baller: A Secret Baby Sports Romance by Vesper Vaughn

Another amazing book by Vesper Vaughn! This one is by far my favorite one.

Hayley is my new book girlfriend! I have read a lot of books, and I have never felt more connected to a heroine than I did with Hayley.

I saw A LOT of similarities between her and me, including going to a bar alone in a foreign city. Too bad my experience didn't result in meeting a Ryan. All I got was a massive hangover.

And don't get me started on Ryan. Talk about bad boy reformation. He's every girls wet dream, even when he had his head up him but. The love he had for Hayley was unquestionably.

One of these days I'm going to go out and find me a man like him. I know they are out there just waiting for lil Ole me to find him. (sorry Mr. Stacy, I still love ya).

Tempting the Law by Alexa Riley

Wow! This book is just what I needed. No matter how crappy of a day I'm having, an Alexa Riley book is sure to bring a little happiness into my life (yeah that's cheesy as hell but so true).

As always Alexa Riley has done a superb job of creating an over the top love story. This one is by far the most farfetched I have read from them. But dang a girl can hope that that kind of love exists out there.

To have someone cherish you the way Coen did to Eden is every girls ultimate fantasy. If only we could find our knight in shinning armor the way Eden did.
