Book Description:

From the New York Times bestselling author of Stepbrother Dearest, comes a new forbidden STANDALONE romance.

What happens when the one you want is the only one you can’t have?

My name is Sevin.

Homeschooled and sheltered by my ultra-religious family, I was always taught that lust was a sin.

Elle was the girl who’d been carefully chosen for me.

After a long-distance courtship, I’d be moving into her family’s guesthouse so that we could get to know each other in the months before the wedding.

Boundaries were set: no inappropriate touching, no kissing, no sex before marriage.

I’d accepted those rules and my fate.

Until I met the one I wanted to sin with.

That was when restraint became a problem…especially since the one wasn’t Elle.

It was her sister, Evangeline.

You know what they say about best laid plans.

My name is Sevin, and I have sinned.

Told in alternating points of view, Sins of Sevin is a full-length standalone novel. Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. Only appropriate for adult readers age 18+.

Release Day Blitz, Excerpt & Giveaway ~ Fallen Crest University (Fallen Crest High #5) by Tijan


Sam & Mason return in Fallen Crest University!
Now Available!

Book Description:


Fallen Crest is back with a vengeance!


Samantha, Mason, and Logan are all together and united with one common enemy: Park Sebastian, the king of fraternity douchebags.

With professional football scouts eyeing his every move, Mason Kade has to walk the line for the first time in his life. Any move he makes against Sebastian has to be perfect and under the radar. One mistake, and his career is over.

Sebastian has other plans. Mason’s career isn’t his target—not even close. Wanting to destroy Mason completely, Sebastian knows he must hit him where it hurts the most: Samantha, who doesn’t give a rat’s ass that she’s the target.

Sam is bound and determined to protect Mason herself, no matter the cost, but what if the cost is beyond her imagination? What if this time, the villain wins?





Excerpt:

I drew one of his fingers into my mouth. My tongue wrapped around it. I wanted to forget about my afternoon and how I was going to handle that situation. I wanted to get lost in his arms.

Seeing what I wanted, Mason tipped us both back, cradling me on his chest as he lay down. I was securely in his arms, and he rolled me over, so he was looming above me. His eyes darkened, holding my gaze before dropping to my lips where a small smile showed, and I let go of his finger. The ache for him already started inside me.

A knowing grin formed on his face, and without saying a word, he slipped from the bed to lock the door and flip the lights off. My heart started pounding. The need for him was rising between my legs, and I licked my lips, watching as he took his shirt off. He was all muscle. I could make out every single one of them as he came back to me. The flames were growing hotter and hotter. I wanted to slide my hands over every inch of him. I wanted to feel his weight on top of me. I wanted to feel him inside me.

I wanted him to break the fucking bed for me.
 
About the Author:
 

I didn't begin writing until after undergraduate college. There'd been storylines and characters in my head all my life, but it came to a boiling point one day and I HAD to get them out of me. So the
computer was booted up and I FINALLY felt it click. Writing is what I needed to do. After that, I had to teach myself how to write. I can't blame my teachers for not teaching me all those years in school. It was my fault. I was one of the students that was wishing I was anywhere but at school! So after that day, it took me lots of work until I was able to put together something that resembled a novel. I'm hoping I got it right since someone must be reading this profile! And I hope you keep enjoying my future stories.

Release Day Review ~ Sustained (The Legal Briefs #2) by Emma Chase


Book Description:
 
A knight in tarnished armor is still a knight.

When you’re a defense attorney in Washington, DC, you see firsthand how hard life can be, and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. I, Jake Becker, have a reputation for being cold, callous, and intimidating—and that suits me just fine. In fact, it’s necessary when I’m breaking down a witness on the stand.

Complications don’t work for me—I’m a “need-to-know” type of man. If you’re my client, tell me the basic facts. If you’re my date, stick to what will turn you on. I’m not a therapist or Prince Charming—and I don’t pretend to be.

Then Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I'm going to Mommy & Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room, and arguing cases in the principal's office.

Chelsea’s too sweet, too innocent, and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be tough, but she’s not. She needs someone to help her, defend her…and the kids.

And that — that, I know how to do.


Our Review:


Reviewed by Donna ~ 4.5 stars
***ARC received for an honest review***



“A knight in tarnished armour is still a knight.”


This book was all about Jake Becker, Chelsea and six amazing kids, if ever there was a feel good book, then this was it, it ticked so many boxes. One thing that Emma Chase never fails to deliver is a spot on male POV and she totally nailed Jake, along with the inner monologues the witty banter this character came to life in a huge way and you couldn’t help but love him. He made you want to love him.

Jake was the epitome of a single man, just the thought of commitment brought him out in hives, he didn’t date, didn’t do relationships just had a long line of one nighters to satisfy the itch. He threw himself into his work and that is what kept him going, he lived and breathed his job, he was exceptionally talented, highly motivated and highly successful. He had it all...or did he?


“All a man has is his word. That he says what he means and does what he says.”


I fell in love with Jake at the onset; I always knew there was something else hidden beneath his cocky façade and Emma Chase really brought it to the forefront in this book. He was such a kind hearted person, he would do anything for anyone and he had the biggest shoulders for everyone else’s burdens. But it took a crafty little pick pocket to finally knock him on his ass, not the pick pocket himself but the lads legal guardian, Chelsea.

Chelsea was a sinking ship, my heart went out to her right from the start, I mean I have three kids that drive me nuts at times but this young girl took on her six nieces and nephews. She was literally thrown into the deep end after a tragedy struck the family and she needed help desperately. Chelsea was a beautiful character both inside and out, she was selfless, admirable and downright freakin adorable. I just wanted to jump into the kindle and give her the biggest hugs. You couldn’t help but be taken in by her plight and Jake was no different.


“I want. I want her – this fearless, stunning woman. And I want the kids. Those perfect, awful, amazing children – whom she loves with every inch of her soul. I want them to be mine. Mine to hold, mine to protect and teach. Their joy, their laughter, their love. I want to come home to it, bask in it, be the reason for it. But even more than that, I want to deserve them. To be worthy.”


This book had me in tears, both of laughter, sadness and happiness; such are the emotions that Emma Chase weaves effortlessly throughout this book. The Emma Chase sense of humour is prevalent throughout and that is what makes this book such an enjoyable and complete read. Not only do you have the romance and the angst but it is beautifully balanced with a good old belly laugh and that is exactly what you needed while reading.


“Because apparently One Direction’s superpower is instant friendship. Someone should ship them to the Middle East so they can get to work on that Israel-Palestine thing.”


To see the change in Becker throughout this book had my heart in knots and my eyes full of tears but full of admiration, he was such a beautiful man both inside and out, even if he doesn’t realise it at first. This was a huge journey and learning curve for Jake Becker and he took it all in his stride, he really does wear his heart on his sleeve for us all to see and doesn’t care who belittles him for it. Chelsea owns him now along with those six adorable, stinking cute kids who seamlessly weaved their way into my affections.


“She’s fourteen. It’s a tough age...She’ll be human again...eventually.”


I cannot recommend this book highly enough, it was perfect and I cannot wait for more from this series.

 “He gave me what I needed...he gave me everything I needed.”

This is one of those bittersweet reads as this is one series that I did not want to end. Marni Mann has that knack of endearing her characters to you so hard that you never want to let them go and that is exactly how I felt with Derek and Frankie, I didn’t want to say goodbye.

Derek Block was one of those characters that you couldn’t help but fall in love with. You knew he had issues from the start but with Frankie he began to learn to deal with them and throughout this series the growth in his character has been exponential. Frankie showed him that he could love and be loved and in this instalment his character exudes emotion and that is something that has taken a while for him to convey, it was a huge stepping stone for him and only made me love him all the more.


“He was the man I wanted to be with. The one I was falling in love with.”


In this instalment it is the culmination of their relationship, this is where the past becomes just that, the past and these two look forward to a future. They still have their issues to deal with and these are all tied up by the end. I was glad that this part of their story was not over in a flash and the suspense and intrigue continued till the end. Derek’s last bit of past was Randy and I am glad that he got his just desserts, finally.

As in true Marni Mann and Derek Block style this book had its fair share of steam, these two on a physical level cannot help but scorch your kindle, their connection oozes from the pages and seriously melts your panties. What this man can do is...well...ermmm...is there anything he cannot do? But seriously, their connection is palpable, my heart races with these two and that is when I know the author has got me, the characters have got me and it is one feeling I treasure when reading a book.


“...there was no longer any distance between us. I was breathing him in. Breathing in his love.”


This book was super emotional in places and had me in tears so you may need tissues but to see these two connect on such a higher level had me in happy tears too. This is what I love about Marni Mann’s writing, she never fails to deliver on that character connection and she somehow always manages to hit me in the heart. Even the very first book of hers I read many years ago had that impact hence why I have continued to read every single book since, she has become one of my auto buy authors.


“Maybe I wasn’t as alone as I thought. I had us.”


The Unblocked Series has been a fantastic read and one where I have looked forward to every instalment, if like me you have bought them piece meal then Episode 5 goes live today (25th August) but also if you have been saving yourself to read the whole series in one go, then Marni Mann is also releasing the total collection today too!

I cannot wait to see what Marni Mann delivers next; I for one will be at the front of the queue.
