HOT RESPONSE (BOSTON FIRE #4)

The men of Boston Fire are back and hotter than ever! Don’t miss this brand-new novel from New York Times bestselling author Shannon Stacey.

Gavin Boudreau lives for the job, but he also believes in “work hard, play harder.” As the youngest guy in Ladder 37, he figures he’s got plenty of time before settling down becomes a priority. Soft, pretty women who aren’t looking for promises are exactly his type, and he’s comfortable with that. Working with a gorgeous EMT isn’t going to change who he is.

The last thing Cait Tasker needs in her personal life is a firefighter whose challenges on-scene have been a thorn in her side from minute one. Her plate’s too full for a man anyway. Back in her childhood home to help her family cope with an unexpected tragedy, she’s got enough to handle without throwing a hot, testosterone-laden fireman into the mix.

As long days on the job lead to long nights together, Gavin and Cait will discover how far temptation can take them—and what happens when the one you thought was all wrong for you turns out to be the person you can’t live without.

Liza's Review:

I really enjoyed Hot Response. Shannon Stacey writes such strong heroes and heroines and I found myself wanting to know Gavin and Cait better from the moment I started reading. I have to say I loved Gavin from the moment he appeared on the page. It was funny, smart, and caring. He seemed like the type of guy you could always count on when needed. I honestly felt like he was way more mature than his age and thought he was just a really good guy. The fact his was a smoking hot fire fighter, was really just icing on a very yummy cake.

I will be honest and say I liked Cait from the moment we met her, but worried her putting herself second to her family would be an issue in the long run. I think the fact that both Gavin and Cait were first responders made it so much easier for them to date with few issues. I loved that Gavin offered up his apartment to Cait if she needed time away from her family even before they had their very first date. I also loved that once they went on their first date, they seemed to want to be together as much as possible. Again, Cait putting her family above herself seemed to come up again and again. I understood her wanting to be there for them after her mom lost her husband and her brother lost his dad, but I really felt like they had started to take advantage of her giving nature without really realizing it. I have to say I loved that Cait and her family came to the same conclusion about their lives at the same time. 

I really did like Gavin and Cait as a couple. They got each other from the very beginning. They had a pretty instant attraction to one another from the very first moment they met. I loved once they made love for the first time, they pretty much couldn't keep their hands off each other. I felt a real connection with them, even when they didn't see eye to eye on something. I love reading a story when I fall in love with he couple, and Hot Responsewas one of those books.

Hot Response is another winner in the Boston Fire series from Shannon Stacey. I enjoyed each of the books in the series so far and look forward to more books in this series in the future.

LENNON REBORN Excerpt
Copyright © 2018 Scarlett Cole

The coach gave an ominous groan as it finally gave up fighting the truck and gravity and fell toward the blacktop.
Time slowed as they were thrown from their seats. He felt weightless for a moment, and then a jarring thud to the ribs knocked the breath out of him. Darkness followed.
Seconds, minutes—who the fuck knew?—passed before a burning pain flooded his body. He tried to focus on where he was. His legs were tangled on something, the strap of Nik’s laptop bag. And it felt as though the bus had landed on his chest. It was impossible to draw a breath through the excruciating agony.
He tried to move his arm, but it felt like a thousand knives pressed deep into his skin. He vomited from the pain.
Fuck.
He looked to his arm and could see bone. The spins returned, and he was sick again.
Fuck.
Shudders racked his body.
Voices filtered through.
“Jenny, oh fuck, sweetheart. Stay still.”
Nik.
Lennon couldn’t see him properly. Everything was blurry.
A child cried, but he couldn’t tell which.
He gasped in another breath, wincing as his ribs fought against the movement.
“Elliott’s leg is broken!” he heard Kendalee shout. From his position on the floor he could see Pixie. Her eyes were closed and she was still. Jordan held her hand tenderly.
A cold sweat covered his skin, the bus suddenly frigid as air weaved its way toward him through the broken glass. He moved his gaze to the ceiling. Fuck, he could see the gray sky through the windows. What he wouldn’t give for just a moment of sunshine.
What he wouldn’t give for someone to hold his hand.
What he wouldn’t give to just be released from all of it.
His breathing became harder, his heart rate slowing.
The sun wasn’t going to come. And he was alone.

WILD IN LOVE

Daniel Spencer is proud of the billion-dollar business he’s built, but there are few things he enjoys more than creating something with his bare hands. Lake Tahoe has everything he’s looking for—the lakefront cabin he’s building for family and friends to enjoy, crystal clear water and lush green mountains. Everything except the perfect woman to share it with. Until Tasha Summerfield literally falls into his arms.

After learning that her family has lied to her for pretty much her entire life, Tasha flees San Francisco for the mountains. As she tries to bury her heartache by hammering her dilapidated cabin back together, the last thing she expects is to fall for a sexy billionaire. But when a storm blows in and she desperately needs help, there is Daniel, waiting with open arms.

Tasha believes Daniel deserves a woman from a perfect, loving, tight-knit family like his. Yet how can she possibly resist a man this sweet and generous…who looks positively sinful in his tool belt? With every delicious taste of him, Tasha finds it harder to quell the hopes and dreams she thought were crushed forever. But when it turns out that Daniel’s family isn’t picture perfect after all, will the truth set them both free? Or will it destroy any chance they ever had?

Liza's Review:

Wild in Love is another winner in the Maverick Billionaires series from Bella Andre and Jennifer Skully. I've wanted Daniel's story pretty much since we met the Mavericks in the first book and have to say his book was more than worth the wait.

I loved getting to know Daniel better in Wild in Love. He has always been such a hard worker as he like all the other Mavericks have always wanted to take care of his parents. His home improvement stores and do-it-yourself videos have pretty much made him a household name and recognizable on site. That is until he meets his new neighbor Tasha Summerfield. Of course the fact that he is saving her from falling off her roof could have been the reason she didn't immediately recognize Daniel.

Tasha has spent  weeks restoring the old cabin she purchased after learning her father and brother had been lying to her about their careers. My heart absolutely broke for Tasha as she struggled to find her way again while starting over. I loved how strong she was to teach herself how to do all her own home repairs and remodeling reading and watching You Tube videos, mostly by Daniel Spencer. I have to say I loved that Daniel pretty much knew Tasha was the woman for him from the moment they met. He didn't force himself on Tasha, but made sure he was available if she wanted him or needed him around. There was a connection from the beginning and I loved watching it grow.

As Tasha had just had her world turned upside down by the people she should have been able to trust the most, I loved seeing her begin to trust again the more time she and Daniel spent together. The attraction was there from the moment they met, but the trust was the most important part of them making their relationship work. I really think with everything Tasha had been through, she never would have acted on her attraction to Daniel without trust. I knew as soon as they made love for the first time this couple was in it together for the long haul. I've loved each of the couples in this series and honestly have to say that Daniel and Tasha might be my favorite of all. There was just something about them that pulled at my heart and gave me all the feels.

Wild in Love is a beautiful romance that will pull at all your emotions. This series focuses so much on family and all the aspects that go along with it. I loved seeing both Daniel and Tasha grow along with their families over the course of this story. Wild in Love hit on all my emotions and had me wanting the story not to end. I'm happy to say we will have more Maverick Billionaires books in the future and I can't wait to read each and every one of them.

ROYAL TREATMENT (HIS ROYAL HOTNESS #2)

What’s a crown prince to do with time on his hands? Or better yet, who? It’s Prince Garrett’s turn to find love in this mouthwatering standalone novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Royal Pain.

Once upon a time I was being groomed to sit on the throne of Wildemar. Now I’m lucky they let me into the palace through the front door. After I was kidnapped and tortured by extremists, my reward upon my release is that nobody trusts me enough to let me be king. And since my twin brother, Kian, has assumed all my responsibilities, I figure why not take over as the black sheep?

But after breaking things off with my betrothed—we never had much chemistry, anyway—and giving the jetsetting playboy lifestyle a try, I’m starting to wonder if I’m cut out for this s***. Then I meet Lola Barnes, a drop-dead gorgeous entrepreneur from the States who’s as refreshing as she is feisty. 

It’s supposed to be a one-night-stand—until the press catches wind of my “new American sweetheart.” Trouble is, Lola’s no sweetheart. But the more I see our names together in the headlines, the more I find myself craving another taste. . . .

Contemporary Romance

Liza’s Review:

I really enjoyed Royal Treatmentfrom Tracy Wolff. In fact, I think I enjoyed Garratt and Lola’s story even more than I enjoyed Kian and Savvy’s story in Royal Pain.

Tracy Wolff writes such amazing and strong heroines, and Lola Barnes is one of her best. Lola has created her own business selling vintage couture clothing online and has become a major success.  When she stumbles upon Prince Garrett of Wildemar, her life is quickly turned upside down.

Garrett was raised as the Crown Prince of Wildemar, as he is 7 minutes older than his twin brother Kian. However, after his kidnapping, his father the King doesn’t think Garrett is strong enough to be the future King. I wanted Garrett’s story the entire time I was reading Kian’s book, so to say I was excited to learn more about him might be an understatement. He had so much control through much of the story, and I attribute much of his new control to being with Lola. There really was just something about the two of them together that seemed predestined. Yes they had some of the best chemistry ever and once they finally made love it was so freaking smoking hot, but they also just seemed to get one another.

I knew that Garrett would eventually blow from the pressure of everything that happened to him. I honestly was surprised it took as long as it did. I really think Lola was his anchor in the storm of his emotions and she helped keep him grounded. However when Garrett finally lost control, he lost it in such a big way, even I was shocked by his level of emotions and anger. I swear I pretty much bawled as Garrett screamed all he had been through at Kian. It absolutely broke my heart for Garrett and Kian, as Kian really had no idea how bad things really were for Garrett. I loved that Lola was the person who helped Garrett move forward and work through so many of his issues.

Royal Treatment was such a wonderful story. The romance between Garrett and Lola was amazing. It was a super emotional yet had lots of moments of laughter too. I’ve always enjoyed Tracy Wolff’s books, and have to say Royal Treatment is my favorite to date.

MOVE THAN CRAVE YOU COVER REVEAL

MTCY-SBPRBannerCR04 MoreThanCraveYouMore Than Crave You, an all-new sexy romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shayla Black is coming September 18th!

More Than Crave You by Shayla Black

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 18th
Designer: Rachel Connolly
Photographer: Sara Eirew

I'm Evan Cook—billionaire tech entrepreneur and widower. Professionally, I’ve got it all. But since my wife died, my personal life has fallen apart. Remarrying seems like the obvious answer, so I place an ad. I'm not asking for much. The ideal woman only needs to be smart, organized, pretty, and helpful—both in and out of bed. No romance, period. I never thought to look right in front of me…but it turns out that Nia Wright, my sexy, sassy assistant, just might be the perfect candidate.
After an unexpectedly hot night together, I'm ready to stop interviewing strangers and simply marry her. On paper, she ticks every box on my list. Best of all, she's far too sensible to fall for me. I didn’t see the flaw in my logic until it was far too late. I never thought I’d lose my heart for the first time. And I definitely never imagined that she could consume me until I more than crave her. But she's harboring a secret that could tear us apart—just as I'm finally putting myself together.

Celebrating My 100th Published Novel!

EYES OF THE TIGER as you read it now is not a story that came easily to me. I got the idea when I started watching Bollywood movies. The idea of karma and reincarnation generated ideas for a reincarnation romantic thriller. It took an incredible amount of research, multiple tries to get it right and an incredible developmental editor who helped me see at last what I needed to do to make it an unforgettable story. Throughout the process, the story obsessed me. I knew I couldn’t give up until I could share it with my readers.
            I already had the idea and much of the research done when I traveled to India with another author and her husband in 2010. There I learned so much of what I couldn’t know from book/Internet research. I absorbed the sights and sounds and the people (who must be the most polite people in the world). We stayed in hotels that were once palaces, toured forts with incredible artwork especially in the separate quarters for women, and thrilled to a stay at a tiger preserve.
            Over the next year, I began writing the story between contracts. And the following year I finished a proposal I sent to my agent — the first 85 pages and a 30 page synopsis. While editors loved the writing, they didn’t buy it. I had other contracted projects, but my story of a love that wouldn’t die refused to let me be. I finally hired my own developmental editor and spent an entire year writing the book while working on other projects.
            I was thrilled that my obsession paid off when I went to contract with Tule Publishing Group.
            Now it’s time to celebrate both seeing EYES OF THE TIGER in digital and print formats, but knowing this very special book to me is my 100thpublished novel. I’m still amazed at what it took to get here...

Eyes of the Tiger Excerpt:​

Taking the copies from her bag, Gemma said, “At least we have a few places to begin our search.” According to rumor in the curator’s professional world, the missing pieces had appeared in various cities both here and abroad.
            “Right. Chicago...London...Paris. Some of the most populated cities in the world.”
            “Hopefully, the jewels I have now can draw us to the others.”
            That seemed to give Raj pause. “You’re planning on taking them with you?” His words were clipped.
            “I’m considering it, of course.” When he didn’t say anything, simply fixated her with a questioning frown, it made her stomach flutter. His care for her was apparent. “What is the point if we don’t have any way of narrowing the field?”
            “Then you’d better hire a bodyguard.”
            “Do I really need to hire one?” She drew closer to him, set on determining exactly why he’d gotten this two bedroom suite when she’d already reserved a room. “When I can have you?”
            She noted the way his expression tightened further. The way his stare narrowed on her as if he was trying to read her true meaning. The thrill of a connection beyond words shot through her. He suddenly seemed as formidable as he had the night she’d met him. The night he’d saved her life. Her pulse sped up a bit as he moved within breathing distance. 
            “Is that a professional recommendation,” he asked, “or a personal one?”
            His raspy tone added to something less palpable, something she couldn’t quite identify, made her gut clench. “Can’t it be both?”
            Reaching out a hand and hooking it behind her neck, he ever so slowly pulled her breath-stealingly closer, while giving her the opportunity to flee if she so chose.
            She didn’t resist.
            Then his mouth was claiming hers, his arms wrapping around her back. She slid her hands up over his shoulders to encase his neck. The kiss was deep and sweet and urgent and comforting, a little bit of everything. Magical. Sleeping desires stirred as her thoughts drifted into what-ifs. She’d been wanting this from the moment she’d met him. Harry was exactly the kind of man she would do anything to have. No, wait! Those had been Mayura’s thoughts in the first vision she’d had. Not Harry—Raj!
            What the hell?          
            The realization broke the connection, and she pulled back slightly, her eyes widening as she stared at Raj. 
            He was breathing hard.                                                                  
            They both were. 
            She couldn’t miss the hunger glinting in his eyes. Beautiful pale blue eyes. He blinked and suddenly his eyes were dark and mysterious and a little exotic just as they should be.
            The bizarre imaginings rattled Gemma. Like her gazing into a mirror and seeing a reflection of Mayura after that first vision.
            Raj was still holding her. “Something wrong?” His voice vibrated down to her toes.
            Not about to ruin the moment, she said, “Nothing you can’t fix.”
            His heated gaze stole her breath. Before she could regain it, he took her in his arms and literally danced her into his bedroom. Her surprise bubbled over into laughter. His lips covered hers for a moment as if he were absorbing her happiness. Her excitement. Then, freeing her, he removed his jacket and hung it from the corner of a chair.
            He was mesmerizing her, gluing her to his every action as he slowly unbuttoned and removed his shirt. Each movement meant to entice. His lightly bronzed skin kissed with sweat made her heart thunder in her chest. 
            No doubt in her mind that she wanted him. 
            She removed the leather cinch from her waist and threw it on the table that held his attaché case and other things. He unzipped his trousers and let them drop to the floor. 
            They were doing this. Really doing this. She’d thought about it from the moment he’d volunteered to come to DC with her. Had longed for it when she’d learned about the suite.       
            She wasn’t someone who did do this—have sex without really knowing a man. So why him?
            Because on some deep level, she did know him. Somehow. Instinct. She couldn’t explain it, but she’d felt this gut-deep, unspoken, all-consuming notion that she’d known Raj forever, practically since they’d met.
            Which had only been two days ago.
            It was Mayura’s and Harry’s story, she told herself. The romance of it had taken her over, had opened up something inside her, made her more vulnerable. Emotional. Wanting...
            That had to be it.
