GOOD GIRL FAIL

 From the New York Times bestselling author of the Loving on the Edge and the Say Anything series comes a new steamy standalone MMF romance that proves good girls can have fun too...especially when she's their good girl.

O’Neal Lory has been taught that one mistake can undo an entire life of right decisions. That it doesn’t matter if a person has been good ninety-nine percent of the time. One misstep, one snap judgment, can derail everything. So, she’s taken a lot of right steps on the straight and narrow path. Eighteen years of them, in fact. Perfect grades. No rules broken. And definitely no boys.

Until she kisses him.

Auden Blake knows he shouldn’t touch his little sister’s best friend, knows that innocent girls like her should stay far, far away from him and his roommate Lennox—especially when she could reveal their behind-closed-doors activities to his family. But when sheltered O’Neal goes rogue, ditching her scholarship to a conservative all-girls college and showing up at Bennette State—his school—instead, it’s going to take everything Auden has to keep his and Lennox’s hands off the curious good girl whose teach me vibes could unravel them both.

Good Girl Fail is a full-length standalone MMF romance with lots of steam, two heroes who like to share and get a little bossy, and a good girl heroine who’s about to break every rule that’s ever been placed upon her.

Nikki’s Review:

SHE’S BACK, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Listen, I love everything that Roni Loren writes, but getting back to her erotic romance roots is something to be celebrated, because this author is a goddamn unicorn.

Auden, Lennox, and O’Neal are bloody combustible on the page. The chemistry was off the charts. 

This story is all about finding your true self and what makes you feel safe and happy…on your own terms. It’s about building a life that brings you joy. 

I’m a sucker for a poly romance, but I need a great plot to keep me invested. I need to be able to connect with the characters and want them to succeed in finding their happily ever after. This book delivers on all of that. I read it in one sitting. And the bonus scene at the end was a nice treat!

I don’t want to go into too much detail of the plot. I think you need to go on that journey with Auden, Lennox, and O’Neal. Just know that you’re getting a very character driven story that will keep you turning the pages. Also…it’s SPICY! All the ingredients that make up an amazing romance!

Blurb:

I am the monarch of Manhattan’s underworld.

A corrupt king, ruling a sinful empire.

I wasn’t born to the crown.

Nevertheless, I wear it well.

Aislinn Granville is the Crown Jewel of my empire—my queen.

To my enemies, she’s my Achilles heel—a perfect pawn.

Without her, I am a wounded warrior.

A ruthless, relentless beast.

There is nowhere she can be taken that I won’t find her.

No adversary I won’t crush to get her back.

Even if I have to burn this city to the ground.

Excerpt:

My heartbeat is an erratic, distracting pitter-patter against my ribs as I take in the stark beauty of the man standing in front of me. He looks like the same man I ran from. Almost. 

The same rich black hair and inky eyelashes. The same strong, shadowed jawline and high, elegant cheekbones. The same spark of intensity lighting up those dark, dark eyes. 

But now there are smudges beneath them. And faint horizontal lines, like the silvery remnants of a shattered spider web, crossing his forehead. 

Damon is glaring at me like an adversary he’s torn between spanking or fucking. There is yearning in his gaze, a faint glimmer of tenderness beneath his infuriated expression. 

I like it. A lot. 

The panic and fear and pure terror that filled my veins just a few hours ago hasn’t yet evaporated. Those intense emotions are still there, like toxins that have yet to be flushed from my system. I don’t want to be treated with kid gloves. Not by Damon King. 

I need his intensity now more than ever. I am desperate to revel in the raging storm Damon and I create when we’re together. The kind of storm that deserves a name. Deserves to be written in history books for its power . . . and for the toll of its destruction. 

I want the shocking illumination of lightning. The ominous energy of thunder. 

I want to give and take. 

Clash and break. 

Writhe and shake. 

“Damon.” I say his name like a warning. I need the savage who claimed me as his own. My savage king. 

He presses a firm kiss to my forehead, his fingers lightly pushing into the hair at the base of my scalp. “Tell me this,” he says. “Is there any hurt I can’t kiss better?” 

The throaty rumble of Damon’s voice is like a liberal pour of molasses on my frayed nerves. “No.” My nose is flush with his chest and I breath deep that scent I didn’t think I would ever smell again. Wood and whiskey and raw masculinity. So damn intoxicating. 

He sweeps his tongue along the rim of my ear. “Is there any hurt I can’t lick better?” 

The tension in my shoulders eases as I flatten my palms against his chest. “No.” 

Damon lifts my chin, our eyes locking on each other. “Is there any hurt I can’t fuck better?” 

My cheeks warm as I draw my lower lip between my teeth. Then I shake my head slowly, “No.” 

He smiles that darkly seductive grin and my stomach flips. “Let’s go take a shower.” 

I nod my head eagerly. A long hot shower sounds perfect. A long hot shower—with my savage king—sounds downright exquisite. By the time the water is running, my borrowed bathrobe is just a white smudge of bad memory strewn across the tile floor. 

Damon begins unbuttoning his shirt and I eagerly reach for his belt. When he is as naked as I am, he cups my chin between his thumb and forefingers and tips it upward. His kiss is hard but not punishing. The perfect amount of pressure. 

I moan low in my throat. 

He growls in return. And when we pull apart, we are wearing matching lust-drunk grins. 

“Do you trust me?” he asks. 

“I thought you said I shouldn’t trust anyone who has to ask.” 

“I’m asking now.” 

The truth falls from my lips. “With my life.”

Nikki's Review:

Man, I am not equipped to deal with Cliffhangers! They make me fucking stabby. I’m eternally grateful that I got to read the books in this duet one after the other. I don’t think my heart would have been able to take it. 

Oh Damon. You continue to be all growly, a giant pain in the ass, and sexy as fuck! I seriously can’t get enough of his character. I love the moments when his guard was down and you see the vulnerable side of him. He has insecurities like the rest of us mere mortals. Did I mention that he’s sexy as fuck? 

Damon and Aislinn are still trying to navigate the waters of their relationship, all while the bad guy continues to creep closer. There were a couple of times that I wanted to give Aislinn a shake. Her constant need to run away when things get the slightest bit tough drove me batty. But that just made her true to her character. She’s stubborn, and it sometimes overtakes her ability to think things through. I really liked that Damon didn’t always just run after her. He put some of that control into her hands. Make no mistake though, he wasn’t going to let her get far. Did I mention that he’s sexy as fuck? I think like I might have said something about it. 

This book was an amazing conclusion to Damon and Aislinn’s love story. I like how everything didn’t just fall into place for them easily. There were lots of hurdles, and they both had to work at it and be truly invested. Damon had to work to gain Aislinn’s trust, and  in turn, she had to learn how to hand over some of the control to him. 

Of course there was a ton of panty dropping sexy times. I mean, that whole sexy as fuck thing, right? Damon is a beast...in and out the of the bedroom. 

I REALLY REALLY hope that Sebastian gets a book! Did you see how capitalized that, Tara? It means I’m desperate. Wink wink. 

If you like a grittier romance with an anti-hero, the Wages of Sin duet is for you!

CRUEL SANCTUARY (WAGES OF SIN #1)

They say New York City is the Devil’s Playground.
They’re wrong.
This city belongs to me.
And so does Aislinn Granville. 

She is a pampered politician’s daughter.
A decorative ornament, raised to smile and nod and do what she’s told.
Except… she doesn’t. Not with me. Ever.

In this city full of thugs and thieves, I’ve kept Aislinn safe.
From my enemies.
From me.

Until now.

Nikki’s Review:

Let me start by saying that Tara Leigh is fucking rockstar. She is an auto buy for me and life stops when her books hit my Kindle.

I didn’t think it was possible for Tara to write a hero that I loved more than rockstar god, Landon, from Rock Legend, but I’m pretty sure Damon King is now tied with him. Mmmm, I would absolutely love to be the middle of a Landon Cox and Damon King sandwich. Is it getting hot in here or is just me? 🥵

This duet is different from Tara’s other books. It’s darker and grittier. Damon King is the very definition of an anti-hero. But let me tell you, if I was going to go to the dark side, I’d want to go with him! 

Aislinn is more straight laced and has a strong good girl vibe going. Lucky her, she’s gets to get dirty and freaky with Damon. 

When these two come together the chemistry is as hot as fire. And by fire, I mean set the bed on fire hot...literally. Underneath Aislinn’s prim exterior there’s a sassy and stubborn headed woman ready to explode. I just loved her! 

Damon has his fingers in all sorts of questionable and down right illegal activities, but you can’t help but like him. He’s gruff and growly, and sexy AF! In his quest to protect Aislinn from men who really are the bad guys, he decides that this little spitfire of a woman is his to claim in every freakin’ way.

Damon is all kinds of raunchy and filthy. Like, drop your panties with just the wink of an eye filthy. And Aislinn drops hers...a lot!

This book was everything I like in a darker romance. The hero and heroine were both flawed and searching for something, even if they don’t know it. And the road to an HEA is going to be more intense. WARNING! This is the first book in the duet and there is a cliffhanger. If you’re like me and cliffhangers make you stabby, don’t panic, the conclusion, Corrupt Savior is available tomorrow, May 13th! I was fortunate to be able to read these books together, which is a good thing, because you know, stabby.

THE ROSE (THE RED #2)

Author Tiffany Reisz returns to the world of The Red with an imaginative sequel full of lust and magic, and the dangers unleashed when the two are combined… 

On the day of Lia’s university graduation party, her parents—wealthy art collectors with friends in high places—gift her a beautiful wine cup, a rare artifact decorated with roses. It’s a stunning gift, and one that August Bowman, a friend of her parents and a guest at Lia’s party, also has his eye on. The cup, August tells her, is known as the Rose kylix, and it’s no ordinary cup. It was used in the temple ceremonies of Eros, Greek god of erotic love, and has the power to bring the most intimate sexual fantasies to life.

But Lia is skeptical of August’s claims of the cup’s mythology and magic—after all, he’s a collector himself, and she suspects he just wants to get his hands on this impressive piece of art. So he dares her to try it for herself, and when Lia drinks from the Rose kylix she is suddenly immersed in an erotic myth so vivid it seems real—as though she’s living out the most sensual fantasy with August by her side…

Realizing the true power of this ancient and dangerous relic, Lia is even more wary of giving it up, though August insists it is only safe with him. He’s willing to pay the full value of the cup, but Lia has another type of trade in mind. One that finds them more tangled up in each other—and in fantasy—than either was prepared for.

The Red #2

Contemporary Romance

Review copy provided by publisher

Liza's Review:

The Rose is the sequel to The Red and as with all books from Tiffany Reisz, is another sizzling story that takes the reader on many sensual adventures along with Lia and August. While it is the second book in The Red series, I have to say it has a much different feel and I found myself completely pulled in from the first page.

Lia just might be one of my favorite characters ever from Ms. Reisz. Seriously, she comes from major family money yet still starts an escort service with her best friends while at university. She is smart, sexy, protective, and so full of humor. She is the absolute pride and joy of her parents and it is evident when her father gives her the priceless Rose kylix as a graduation gift. Lia would never think of getting rid of any gift from her parents until she is blackmailed by a former lover. Enter August, who had made her offers from the moment the gift was given to her.

I'll just say I loved August from the moment he appeared on the page. He is so self-assured without being an ass. I felt the attraction and connection between August and Lia from the moment they met and have to say I adored them together. I loved that Lia felt comfortable enough with August to share her past and even open up about her fantasies. Each one was hotter and sexier than the last. Each fantasy interlude occurs in a story from Greek myths and I have to say I felt like Lia and August feeling for one another only increased. 

There are always twists and turns in a Tiffany Reisz book. I have to say Ms. Reisz totally threw me for a loop with a couple of the reveals in The Rose in only the best possible way. The Rose is the perfect book for anyone who enjoys reading a super sexy story with lots of Greek mythology thrown in. I really loved The Rose and highly recommend it to other romance fans.

“You’re the target, Aislinn.”

“What?” Her lashes fly open, jaw momentarily sagging before snapping shut. “That’s ridiculous. You’re lying.”

Aislinn is now barely a foot away from me, and I can’t hold back the coarse chuckle that rumbles from my throat like thunder. “Don’t be naïve. Your father’s too valuable to hurt, he’s already proven he can be bought. Lytton is just an employee. And your mother is too ill. Which leaves you, Aislinn—the perfect bargaining chip. Leverage, if you will.”

“I don’t believe you,” she says, standing her ground. “If that were true, my father would have warned me.”

I shrug, knowing this next declaration is going to shock her even further. “Either way, you’ll be staying with me until this situation is contained.”

The pulse at the base of Aislinn’s throat flutters wildly, like a caged bird trapped beneath her skin. “You’re insane.”

She’s caught, all right. By me.

“Maybe. But if you fall into their hands, your father’s just going to ask me to get you back.” I take a step toward her, Aislinn’s chin lifting to maintain eye contact. “I’m a busy man. There’s no need to waste my time hunting you down later when you’re standing in front of me right now.”

She flinches at the impact of my intention. “Who the hell do you think you are?”

I ignore the question, dragging my eyes away from the sweatshirt that has become damp because of Aislinn’s wet hair, the fabric molding itself to her curves. “There’s a car parked out front right now, and I’ll send someone to guard your door tonight. But I expect you to be packed and ready by tomorrow afternoon. You will stay with me until everything is sorted out.”

She doesn’t back down an inch, impassioned fury turning her spine into a steel bar. “If I’m really in danger, I can hire my own bodyguard. I don’t need you, King.”

A low chuckle rattles inside my throat as I stare her down. Given the difference in our sizes, it isn’t difficult to do. My answer is confident, and more than a little condescending. Some might say cocky. “Yes, you do."
