Blurb


I saw her once.
That was all it took.
Now Callie West belongs to me.
She thinks I’m her protector. The man who rescued her when her life fell apart.
She doesn’t know I’ve been watching her for months.
Learning her habits.
Memorizing her smiles.
Planning a future she never agreed to.
When enemies from my past close in, Callie becomes a target. The safest place for her is with me.
The only problem?
The closer she gets, the more dangerous my obsession becomes.
Because I’ll do anything to keep her.
And once I claim what’s mine…
I never let go.

Excerpt:

She placed a bottle of beer down in front of one of the men, and he grabbed her arm, pulling her close. She let out a little squeal, and anger rushed through Evander as he stepped in closer. He gripped the man’s wrist, applying just enough pressure to make a point. The asshole attempted to fight for dominance, trying not to show he was in pain. The fool.

“That is no way to treat a lady.”

“She’s no lady,” he said.

“You know what, Mitch, I think we should go and see Leah. She wants our money.” The guy who sat next to this fucker tried to play the peacekeeper.

Evander released the man’s wrist and waited. He hoped the bastard would take him on. No one touched Callie. And he was always up for a good fight.

They left, as did the rest of the men sitting at the bar.

“Wow, er, thank you,” Callie said.

He turned his full attention to her.

“How’s your arm?” he asked.

Callie looked down at herself and smiled. “It’s nothing. It’s all part of the job, right?”

“Dealing with asshole men, yes, I can see that.”

She laughed. “What can I get you?”

“A beer.” He had no intention of drinking.

“I think I recognize you. Do you come in here often?” Callie asked.

“Sometimes.” He’d been coming in most nights, but rarely did she see him. Callie didn’t need to know that for the past couple of months, he’d been stalking her. He knew all of her movements, what she liked, what she hated. Even some of her taste in music, which was not the same as his. She loved modern pop. He was more into soul. There was also a nineteen-year age gap, but age was just a number.

“I thought I recognized you. If you don’t mind me saying, this place is beneath you. I know a good bar a few blocks from here that would be more your style.”

“And why is that?” he asked.

“The suit. It’s designer, right? Trust me, we don’t get people like you in here that often. My boss tries to remember the glory days of years ago when it was the best thing going.”

“If you don’t like the place, why do you work here?”

“I can’t afford to be too picky. The job market isn’t exactly open for me right now.” She shrugged. “I go where I need to. Besides, I’m not afraid of a little hard work. You may not belong here, but I do.”

Evander thought of the file he had on her. Her mother died when she was eighteen, but before she moved to the city, she lived in a trailer park in a small town. He wanted to take her away from all of this. To fill her life with all the things she deserved.

She placed a beer right in front of him, and with no one else to serve, she grabbed a tray and headed out, scooping up the empty bottles and glasses that had been left on tables. He heard the sound of stickiness under her shoes as she walked.

He wanted to throw her over his shoulder and carry her away from this shithole. She wasn’t happy. He saw it in her eyes. She avoided the men who were currently staring up at the stripper on stage. Callie didn’t look anywhere but at the tables. She moved as far away from the men as possible.

Evander kept an eye on them. None of them would be touching his woman.

Blurb


Harper Taylor has spent years cleaning for the most feared Capo in the Villa Mafia. Trapped by her controlling father and desperate for freedom, the last thing she expects is to fall for her dangerous boss.
Enzo Castelli trusts no one.
Betrayal has shaped him into a ruthless mafia kingpin, but Harper is the one exception. The one woman he can’t stay away from. The one person he would burn the world to protect.
When enemies close in and family secrets come to light, Harper finds herself caught between the life she’s always known and the man who refuses to let her go.
Because Enzo doesn’t share.
And once he decides Harper belongs to him, he’ll destroy anyone who tries to take her away.

Excerpt:

Harper had known he had a wife and kids, and that he lost them, but she didn’t realize what happened. She also knew he had parents that had died, but she had no idea how or why. No one had talked about it.

This was heartbreaking. She couldn’t believe what he’d gone through.

Without thinking, she made her way toward him, and she sank to her knees, threw her arms around him, and hugged him. “I’m so sorry,” she said.

She couldn’t even imagine what that must have been like, to find his parents, his in-laws, and then his children. To have seen the damage his wife had done. She never met the woman, but just on principle for what she had done, she hated her so much. It was good that he killed her. No monster like that deserved to live.

She pressed her face against his neck, and he smelled so good. Harper couldn’t quite put her finger on why he smelled so good, just that he did. She didn’t know why she kissed his neck.

Enzo pulled away, and Harper pulled back. They were still close, and he captured her arms in his grip. He stared at her, and she stared right back at him. Silence fell between them.

Harper felt her heart race, there was no other word for it. She had no idea what was happening right now, or what she should do. His lips looked so inviting.

She didn’t know who moved first, herself or Enzo, but one moment, they were staring at each other, and in the next, they were kissing. This wasn’t a bland kiss either, this was passionate. Like the walls of boss and employee had been shattered as they broke that boundary between them. He held her arms so tightly, and she put her hands on his chest, but not to push him away. She worked them up, circled her hands around his neck, and he teased his tongue across her bottom lip, and she met him, tasting him.

She felt her body heat up, her nipples go incredibly tight, and her pussy slick with arousal. She wanted him badly.

Harper pulled away, because the cold reality set in. This was Enzo Castelli. He was a mafia boss, a freaking Capo, and that meant he had responsibilities. They hadn’t made him marry yet, but he would need to provide heirs. He’d need a woman by his side with good family and good standing. She was none of those things.

This was a nightmare.

She pulled away, got to her feet, and rushed out of the room. Her lips were swollen, and she tried to make her escape but didn’t get far.

Enzo stopped her, grabbing her arms, pressing them up above her head, and then his lips were back on hers. She melted against him, and she wanted to tell him to stop, but it was like her body had other ideas, as she relished the kiss. This was passion.

He held her hands above her head as he ravished her mouth, and with his other hand, he stroked down from her shoulder, cupping her tit and gliding down. He pulled up the skirt of her uniform and swallowed her cry as he cupped her pussy.

She wore panties, but with the heat of his hand, it was like she was wearing nothing. He’d stripped her completely naked, yet she still wore clothes.

Of course, Enzo had other ideas, and those panties were torn from her without even so much as a yank, but the fabric was flimsy as it had lost the elastic long ago. She was lucky they stayed up around her waist.

His hand pressed against her pussy. His fingers moved between her slit, and she cried out at the sheer instant hit of pleasure that consumed her from that one touch. She had never been touched there, never been kissed. This was all so new, and she didn’t know what the hell she was doing.

He broke the kiss and trailed his lips down toward her neck. Harper was about to tell him she was a virgin and they shouldn’t be doing this, but then his teeth grazed across her pulse. She lost all thought, because it was like tiny little orgasms went off through her entire body, and she was unable to think or process.

At the same time, his fingers were at her cunt, and he pressed a finger between her slit and touched the nub, stroking back and forth. She closed her eyes, and he growled against her.

The uniform was tugged, and she realized he had let go of her hands above her head, but she had been so lost on sensation, she hadn’t even realized it. The uniform came open, and he somehow worked on her bra, and even with her clothes on, he was able to get her tits naked.

His mouth took one of her nipples into his, and she cried out. There was no way to think. It was sensation after sensation, and all she could do was float on it, mindless with pleasure.

And then he pulled his hand away, and she heard the unmistakable sound of a zipper, and he lifted her up.

“We’ll have time later,” he said.

Blurb


Maeve Summers wants the one thing money and success can’t buy—a family of her own.
Doc can’t stop thinking about Maeve. What starts as an unexpected match arranged by his ex-wife soon becomes an irresistible attraction neither of them can deny. Their secret romance is everything Maeve has ever wanted—until danger threatens to destroy it.
When someone targets the people closest to them, Doc must fight to protect his daughter, his ex-wife, and the woman he’s fallen for.
With time running out and everything on the line, will love be enough to save them all?

Excerpt:

“This is good. You certainly know how to get food on the table in a jiffy,” he said.

She chuckled. “All the years of working and getting home late with Eden.” She shrugged. “I could probably write a book on shortcuts and all that.”

The moment her grilled cheese was done, Maeve could not stand the taste of the soup. It was just so nasty.

“Do you want some coffee? Hot chocolate? Beer?” She didn’t want him to leave.

She tipped her soup down the sink, and as she turned, Doc was already there, carrying his plate and bowl. He reached behind her and placed it in the sink, and Maeve had to take a moment to try and gain composure. He was so close, a little too close, and he smelled so good. She couldn’t quite place the musky scent, all she knew was it made her insides turn to jelly, and she struggled to focus.

When he put his dishes down, he didn’t move away. Maeve needed him to move back so she would have space to think and breathe. It wasn’t going to happen.

He was so close. And then, she put her hands on his chest. It was like time had stood still between the two of them. Doc didn’t move.

Maeve couldn’t believe she was doing this, but it was like she couldn’t stop herself. The other factor was, she didn’t want to. She had told herself this was just going to be a little fun between friends. Two people who were alone on Valentine’s Day, finding some fun with each other, so they were not lonely.

She was about to take a step back, when Doc’s hand suddenly curled around her back and pulled her in close. A gasp escaped her, but she didn’t have time to even think about it, because within seconds his hands were on her, and he took possession of her mouth.

Maeve moaned. And then a whimper fell from her lips. And the kiss between them deepened as Doc explored her mouth, and she met him, touch for touch.

It was an instant explosion.

She felt the hit between her thighs, and then his hands were all over her, moving down her body, going toward her ass. He pulled her in close, and she cried out, feeling the hard ridge of his cock as it pressed against her. Maeve felt on fire with a need burning brighter inside her. She didn’t want it to stop.

He lifted her up, and before she knew what was happening, he put her ass down on the counter. Maeve was not a jump-into-bed-on-the-first-date kind of woman, but right now, she saw the appeal, and the feel of his hands all over her felt too good to say no.

She moaned his name, and he growled against her flesh, and at some point, the top part of her dress was pulled down, exposing her tits. The bra she wore was all but gone.

When Doc took one of her nipples into his mouth, he sucked hard, biting down. There was pain, but not enough to make her not enjoy it. She didn’t want him to stop. It felt so powerful. He slid his tongue between the valley of her tits, then went to her other nipple, as he lavished the same attention on it.

Suddenly, he pulled her off the counter, and she wrapped her legs around him as he moved out of the kitchen.

“Where’s your bedroom?” he asked.

She pointed upstairs, as the words failed her. It was a good job she still had the use of her hands, because she kissed him as he moved them toward her bedroom. He stepped inside, and she shoved the door closed behind them. He dropped her onto the bed, and she reached for him, not wanting to be done with him quite yet.

Doc chuckled and stepped back, but Maeve was there, pulling on the base of his shirt, and she pulled it off and over his head.

“We’re not too drunk for this?” Doc asked.

Maeve smiled. “I’ve had two beers. It takes a lot more than that for me to not know what I want.”

She reached for the belt and tugged. He didn’t fight her, and she slid it open, pulled the belt from all the loops, and dropped it to the floor. She never considered herself a master jeans opener, but she got the button open, and the zipper slid down.

Her dress was still on, with just her tits out. She had no idea how she looked, and in that moment, she didn’t care. She sunk to her knees before him and started to pull the jeans down his thighs. He wore boxer briefs, and even through the black material, she saw the hard ridge outline of his cock. Even through the fabric, she saw he was long and thick.

Maeve reached for his boxers and pulled them down his body, allowing his impressive length to spring free. She wrapped her fingers around the length, and working at the base, up to the tip, he was already leaking pre-cum. Maeve put her lips right over the tip, tasting him, and he let out a growl. She saw his hands clench into fists at his sides as she took just the tip, and she didn’t use her teeth as she sucked him into her mouth. She took more of him, until he hit the back of her throat, and she was tempted to gag around the hard tip but pulled back. He tasted so good, and he was so thick and wide.

Doc wrapped her hair around his fist, and he pumped his hips toward her mouth, but then he tugged on her hair, and she followed his movement as he pulled her off his cock.

At first, Maeve didn’t know what he was doing, and then he got her to her feet and kissed her. This was not a gentle kiss but filled with fire and passion. It made her toes curl, and then he pushed her to the bed.

Maeve

At sixteen, I learned my fate.
On my twenty-first birthday, I wouldn’t be celebrating—I’d be handed over as payment for my parents’ sins.
I fought. I rebelled. I tried to escape.
None of it mattered.
Now I belong to him.
And my life is no longer my own.

Draven

I never wanted the deal.
But the moment I saw her, I knew one thing—she was mine.
I won’t break her. I won’t hurt her.
I’ll protect her.
Earn her trust.
Make her choose me … even if she has no choice at all.
But someone wants her dead.
And if her own family would rather see her buried than delivered to me…
What aren’t they telling me?
Because I’m already too far gone.
Maeve is mine.
And I’m not letting her go.

Excerpt

“I’m about to call for lunch,” he said, stopping when he caught sight of me. “Care to join me?”

“Sure.”

I’m trying to act casual. I’m wearing a simple white summer dress, with straps wide enough to cover my bra straps, but it only falls to my knees.

Draven walked into his office, holding the door open for me, and I walked past him and to one of the sofas. He has two, on either side of a coffee table. Near the main window sits his desk.

“How are you?” Draven asked.

It’s nice to know his name. “I’m good.”

Draven sits down opposite me, and I can’t help but watch him. His gaze is on me as well.

“How old are you?” I asked.

“Thirty-five.”

“Wow,” I said.

“Does my age bother you?”

“No.” I happened to like the fact he was older. Not that I had been around a lot of men my own age, but I had seen a lot of movies to know they were not exactly mature. Draven looked mature.

“How is your neck?” he asked.

“Fine.”

His sleeves are rolled up, showing off his thick, heavily inked arms.

“Did you like getting tattoos?” I asked.

He sat back and looked at me. “Did you?”

I couldn’t help but smile. “I asked you first.”

“And seeing as I am the oldest, you will answer me.”

“Yes, I did. They hurt, but then a needle digging into your flesh is going to hurt.”

He chuckled. “I rather like the pain. After a while, I didn’t feel it.”

“That was the same for me.”

I don’t want to talk about ink, or pain.

“Maeve, come here,” he said.

In that moment, I was like a moth to a flame. I walk around the coffee table and stand right in front of him.

At first, Draven doesn’t move or make a sound, but then he takes hold of my hand. He strokes his finger across my inner wrist, and it felt so good, I didn’t want it to stop.

“Tell me what is going on in that mind of yours,” he said.

“Nothing.”

“You think I don’t see the interest in your eyes, Maeve?” he asked. “Do you think I didn’t notice you were looking at me from your bedroom window, or that last night you wriggled against my dick because you felt how hard I was getting?”

I thought I had been subtle, but I felt him pressing against me, and I had enjoyed it.

The moment he tugged on my wrist, I didn’t fight and instead fell against him. Draven is a man in charge and knows what he wants. He moves my knees into position so that I straddle him.

“Is this what you want?” he asked, both his hands at my hips as he held me in place.

I feel the hard ridge of his cock, even through his pants.

“Yes.”

I don’t fight him, and I’m not afraid. Draven has already proven he doesn’t want to hurt me, so I place my hands on his shoulders and stare into his eyes, refusing to look away. He has intense brown eyes. I had a feeling they were probably scary to look at, especially if he was staring at an enemy. I was not his enemy.

I’d never been this bold with a man. I had learned to fight, and I had gone dancing. I rebelled in the hope of changing my fate, but nothing was going to help me. My fate had been sealed long before I was even born.

I was going to belong to Draven Adams. From the age of sixteen, I’d been so pissed about that. I hadn’t even known his name, nor who he was, just that I was going to be owned by a man. I would mean nothing. I would be nothing, and there was no way I would be able to change that.

Now, I am so happy to be owned by him. I know it is crazy and fucking stupid. All this time, I should have been looking for a way to escape, but why? I am happy. I know there were probably many people that had been in my position who were dead now. I was lucky. Draven had no intention of killing me. I didn’t know exactly what he was going to do to me, but I also didn’t care.

Cupping his face, I feel bold, like I am tired of holding back. For a long time, I have wanted to scream and keep it in place, and now I close that small distance between us and kiss him. I kiss my captor, and I don’t let go.

I love the feel of his lips against mine, and one of the hands on my hips slides up and grips the back of my neck. I hesitate, expecting the fear to come flooding back, but he’s holding the back of my neck, and the other hand is gripping my hip tightly. There is no mistaking what is going on right now. Draven is touching me. I want his hands all over me, touching me, exploring me.

There is a knock at the door, and I pull away.

“Fuck off,” Draven said, growling the words.

“That’s not very nice,” I said.

“I’m not a very nice man.”

It was on the tip of my tongue to argue with him, but all too soon, Draven has his hands on my waist, and he’s spun me around so that my back is to him.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

His Beauty, Her Beast – 5 out of 5 stars.

Maeve Taylor is twenty one years old and reached the point in her life that the sole purpose of her being born was all for has now finally arrived. At the young age of sixteen Maeve learnt that she was nothing more than a pawn to be used in a game she never even asked to play a part in. Her only role is to be used in payment for a blood debt created by her parents. Once she learned her role she did everything she could to rebel, change her hair, get tattoos but nothing could stop this process from being honoured. In her mind her life was over before it had even begun. Draven Adams was the one to collect the outstanding debt from the Taylor family after his father had passed. All debts to be collected went to him. At the age of thirty five he wasn’t really interested in the debts, he had his own empire he had made and he ruled it with an iron fist. However one look at Maeve and the fire in her eyes and he instantly knew that she belonged to him. He would claim her and protect her and treat her as the precious gem she truly is. All whilst taking his revenge on those stupid enough to try to take her away from him. Wow, this was a great read! Maeve may not have had much of a choice in her life but she didn’t let it break her or snuff out her light, she is stronger than she even realises. Draven is a man surrounded in mystery with more power and capable of so much destruction that Maeve does not fully understand the lengths her man will go to to love and protect her. Even though the situation they come together by is not an everyday occurrence their chemistry is there and slowly builds as they spend time together and Draven continues to surprise Maeve with his charm, actions and smiles reserved just for her. Their passion is scorching hot and the story hides some twists and turns along the way that you would not expect. It was a great read that I thoroughly enjoyed with an epilogue that gave us a perfect ending. Loved it. Happy Reading.
Please note that I was given an arc of this book for my honest review which is exactly what I have given.
5 out of 5 stars.

Dmitriy Fedulov was known as the ghost devil. He was who the head of the Gnesin Bratva sent when they wanted to annihilate. He killed all enemies, and he did so without remorse. Until her.

Anastasia Babkin defied her family and refused to marry a cruel man. As punishment, she was thrown out, forced to live on her own, far away from the Bratva. She knew the risks. It was why she stayed all alone.

When Dmitriy was sent, he didn’t kill her. Instead, he kept her safe. He felt nothing for no one, until he met Anastasia. She was unlike other women. She was different, and he couldn’t bring himself to kill her.

The orders from Gnesin didn’t sit well with Dmitriy. When he demands a meeting, and it goes silent, he knows something is wrong. When the enemy comes hunting him down, it’s only a matter of time before the Bratva falls.

Anastasia doesn’t know who ordered the kill on her family. She has fallen in love with her savior. But, will they be able to survive? Is the leader of the Bratva still alive? Will he let them live? Or is it just one big betrayal?

Excerpt:

“I have no idea what is going on, and I can only assume my safe locations have been compromised. I’m not going to put you in any danger. We’ll rest here tonight, and tomorrow, we’ll figure something out.”

“You know, if you had killed me, you probably would be able to just run away and live your life.”

“Running away is not an option.” He never ran away, not from his parents, not from anything.

“Take a shower. I’m going to go and get food, and do not answer the door to anyone.” With that, he closed the door and left the motel room.

He should have killed her. It should have been easy for him to do. Just one bullet to the back of the head, or slitting her throat, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. He didn’t want to hurt her. In all his years, Dmitriy had never felt this way for anyone.

Running fingers through his hair, he got into the car and drove for ten minutes until he found a drive-thru. He ordered them plenty of food, kept a smile on his face for the woman serving him, which wouldn’t allow any questions or suspicions to be raised, and when she was finished serving him, he told her to have a good day.

He made his way back to the motel, grabbed all the food, and let himself into the apartment. At the same time, Anastasia stepped out of the bathroom. Her hair was damp, and she had a towel within her grip, drying it by scrunching it up in her fist. She had a single towel wrapped around her body, but he saw a lot more of her flesh on display, and he found it impossible to ignore. She was almost naked.

“The shower is free, and I didn’t use up all the hot water,” she said.

“I’ll take a quick shower.” He moved past her with speed. He didn’t want to spend any more time looking at her.

He had to get control of his erection. After what she had just seen, Anastasia didn’t need to deal with an aroused man as well. He wasn’t that much of a fucking monster.

“There’s food, enjoy it,” he said, and slammed the door. This was not Anastasia’s fault. She didn’t know how he felt. That he had been obsessed with her since she had turned eighteen. That she was nothing like any other woman he had seen or known. She was different.

Stripping out of his clothes, he turned on the shower and stepped beneath the spray. His cock was rock-hard, and he couldn’t get the sight of her out of his mind. Her smooth shoulders exposed, slightly glistening from the shower she had taken. She had been here moments before, and he was pretty sure he could smell her. He had to get some level of control. This was fucking shit.

Wrapping his fingers around his cock, he closed his eyes, and it was all Anastasia playing through his mind. Her smile. The laughter he had heard from time to time. Then of course, the way she looked moments ago, and that was all it took to send him right over the edge, and he grunted as he spilled his seed into the bathtub.

He couldn’t recall the last time he was with a woman. It had been so long ago, possibly even the night before he had seen Anastasia for the first time. That one look at the party was enough for him to never want anyone else.

There had been a few moments where he had tried with other women, but none of them appealed to him. They meant nothing.

He stopped trying and accepted there was only one woman for him, and that woman was Anastasia.

Protecting Anastasia – By – Sam Crescent 

This is another standalone story by the amazing Sam Crescent and it has you engaged from the very beginning. Dmitriy Fedulov, known as a loyal soldier to Nikolai Gnesin, The head of the Gnesin Bratva, but to only a few as the Devil Ghost. He is sent to clean up mistakes and keep people in line. If the Devil Ghost is coming for you then your days are numbered. When he is tasked with removing certain families he accepts his orders without fuss but when he encounters the young and innocent Anastasia Babkin he finds himself for the first time unable to complete his orders. Since she left the family and went out and started a new one her own he has been drawn to her, wanting to protect her and keep her safe. When his orders come he takes her away and protects her but now things are not looking to be as clear cut as he thought. Something could be wrong, is the Gnesin Bratva at risk. Dmitriy and Anastasia must work together to find the truth as they give into their feelings for one another and explore their chemistry before the chance is taken from them. This is a fast paced, action packed story that was well written with two strong leading characters. Dmitriy is swoonworthy and Anastasia is a lot stronger than many thought her to be. Their chemistry is smoking hot and Jack the hacker is a great additional character. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed thos story and their well deserved happily ever after. 

Please note that I was given an arc of this book for my honest review which is exactly what I have given.

Blurb

Larissa is different. Getting shot was a wakeup call, and there’s no way she could just turn around the clock and go back to life before. Her friend, or boyfriend, hadn’t stuck around. He had run away.

The only person who had been willing to save her was George or Big Dick, or whatever he liked to be called.

Larissa is everywhere. No matter where he turned, Big Dick couldn’t get away from her. After running into her at a bar, he does the most ridiculous thing and makes a bet.

He has one year to get Larissa in his bed.

For some odd reason, Big Dick isn’t being his usual cruel self, and Larissa finally sees the man beneath the leather cut. She never intended to start a secret affair, but she also couldn’t deny sneaking around with him was a lot of fun.

Until the truth comes out, and Larissa learns that everything Big Dick had been saying and doing to her was just to win some kind of stupid bet. Heartbroken and betrayed, Larissa refuses to talk to Big Dick again.

He made a mistake. He didn’t intend to fall in love with Larissa, and seeing her hurt is killing him. He’s the only one responsible.

But, he gets a second chance, and this time, he is not going to do blow it.

The only problem is, he took his eye off the ball and the enemy is now closing in. They are known for breaking the rules, and Big Dick is going to need to make a choice. Protect his club, or save the woman he loves. Where will his loyalties fall?

Excerpt

Two shots of tequila, and Larissa felt rough. She hadn’t been sick, nor had she slept in. Baking was a consolation, but it also wasn’t exactly helping right now, because the baked goods were making her a little queasy.

Her dad had stayed up and made her a hot cup of tea, which she had appreciated. They didn’t talk, and she certainly didn’t tell him she took part in a dare—a crazy, stupid dare, but one she couldn’t get out of her mind.

She did not want to think about that kiss with Big Dick. It could have been anyone walking through that door. She didn’t know what had come over her. She had looked to all the ladies, and it seemed they already knew she couldn’t do it. So, she did, without a question asked. She just got right in and kissed him.

 Of all of the people to enter the damn bar, it had to be Big Dick. Although, that could have gone a lot worse. Kissing any of the other men at the bar that night would have been a nightmare. Kissing Smokey would have been so wrong. Carlos, Ugly Beast, and Hunter, all of them were taken, and she was no cheater. She believed in the sanctity of marriage. It was a sacred vow that should be protected at all costs, not brushed over as if it meant nothing. Marriage meant something to her. It always had and always would.

She finished serving the last of the morning rush customers, and so far, the bakery still had a lot to offer. With the shop empty, she quickly took a quick trip to the back to gather more baked goods to fill the stands so it was bursting to the seams.

As she was picking up the brownies, she heard the doorbell ring, alerting her to more customers, and she quickly rushed back to find George standing in the shop. It was then she realized in her mind that she had been calling him Big Dick. She took a deep breath. She liked that she always called him George.

“George,” she said. “Good morning.”

It was Saturday morning, and she glanced over at him, trying not to look at his lips. That kiss had been a dare, and it didn’t matter. George hated her and didn’t like her around the club, which is why she always stayed away. Although her friends had invited her, she tried not to visit the club so they could enjoy their time without her around.

“Morning, beautiful,” he said.

This made her frown. George had never been nice to her, and more often than not, he treated her like a pain in the ass.

“What can I get you?” she asked, putting the items she had gathered into place, and the tray on the back counter behind her.

“How about you and me going out for coffee?”

Again, this was new.

“Uh, no, thank you. I’m working.”

“What are you doing after work?”

“I’ve got an appointment with Hailey at the beauty parlor,” she said, still frowning.

“Why?”

“Because I asked Hailey to help me with some things, and she promised she would.”

She wanted to learn how to put on makeup. For Christmas her father had gotten her a beauty set. It had surprised her but also delighted her. He had listened to her constantly ramble on about the new beauty parlor and how much she loved it, and he had paid attention. That meant a lot to her. The only snag, like most things in her life, was the fact she didn’t know how to put makeup on. She felt like in most cases, mothers were there to help.

Her mother wasn’t around. Just as she hadn’t been there for Mother’s Day, or prom, or the day she had gotten her first menstrual cycle. Between herself and her dad, that had been an experience she didn’t want to repeat. Then came the sex talk.

At least her father had been honest. He hadn’t held anything back. He was the town pastor and took his role seriously, but at no point did he want his daughter to follow in his footsteps. He wanted her to make her own choices.

Which was what her mother had done. No one in town knew what had happened to her mother, but she did. Her father had always been truthful. Her mother had been a wild child, a whirlwind, and Jonah had fallen hard. He thought she had wanted a happy life, a marriage, a child, but it had lasted only a couple of years. Then her mother had felt trapped. She didn’t want to be attached to the same man and she didn’t want a kid around her neck. Without a backward glance, she had divorced her father and just left town, never to be seen or heard from again. They didn’t know if she was alive or dead.

Over the years, her father had gotten over her. Larissa knew that. The pictures of her had come down, to be replaced by the memories she and her father had made. She often wondered if her father was worried that she, herself, would be wild and want to run off into the sunset. Larissa was nothing like that. She wanted a happy life. To fall in love with someone who loved her just as much. A family. She had to stop saying what she wanted, because she was starting to think it wasn’t going to happen.

Larissa wanted to be the mother her own mother wasn’t.

“Maybe another time?” George asked.

“Why?” she asked.

“Why, what?”

“You’re confusing me, George. You don’t like me, remember? No one wants me around.” She laughed.

“Yeah, well, maybe I’ve changed my mind.”

Hold on and be prepared for twists, turns and deceptions you don’t see coming. This is not your usual MC series. The men are complex and when they make a mistake they really do. What’s the saying,  Go big or go home”? This applies to the men of Hell’s Bastards MC. This is George and Larissa’s story. George aka Big Dick, is the latest victim of his own stupidity. When a bet goes sideways and Larissa discovers the truth, George realizes the devastating mistake he’s made. The groveling that ensues isn’t tedious but when danger surfaces, no one is safe. This needs to be read to truly appreciate this book. It has danger, love, loss, violence, redemption.  This is a Must Read!

Big Dick – Hell’s Bastards MC  – Book 6 – By – Sam Crescent

This is the sixth book in the amazing Hell’s Bastards MC Series and it features around Big Dick/George Erickson and Larissa Adams. The story begins several months after Harlow and Hunter’s wedding and the last attack that saw Harlow hurt along with Hailey and Larissa both suffering from gunshot wounds that they caught in the crossfire from their attack from Cadeon and the rest of the Twisted Bastards MC. Larissa has caught the attention of Big Dick and he doesn’t even realise why. He knows he likes to keep an eye on her, he finds her in every room he enters, he doesn’t understand why, he just does. She is the flickering light burning bright and he is the moth that cannot keep away but he doesn’t realise it is love that keeps drawing him towards her. Without understanding his own true feelings Big Dick makes a bet with Carlos, Raven’s husband. It is a callous bet that he can get Larissa into his bed within a year and he doesn’t even realise the huge mistake he is making when he agrees to it or what he could potentially lose if it is ever discovered. Larissa is a little suspicious of Big Dick as he has never been flirty towards her before, he always thought she was prim and proper, a bit of a prude and thought herself above the MC which was never the case at all. However now he is being civil and once she sees a different side to him, a sweet, kind, considerate and funny side Larissa begins to see that there is so much more to him than she ever thought possible. She begins to let her guard down and fall for him wholeheartedly, then reality sets in, truths are discovered, hearts are broken, relationships are irrevocably changed and the threat to the Hell’s Bastards MC in the form of Cadeon and the Twisted Bastards is still out there and stronger than ever. This is a great addition to a really enthralling MC series that is subject matter this author excels at. The push and pull between Larissa and Big Dick has been previously hinted at but you could tell Big Dick was fighting it as he believed Larissa was not cut out for the MC world. By taking this stupid bet and forcing himself to get to know her he is continually surprised by her and that is something that rarely happens to him. She is not at all what he thought and finds himself wanting to be with her more and more. We also see a different side to Big Dick at first he is cocky, arrogant and as his name suggests a bit of a dick but as he opens up more we see a tender, loving side to him. There is definitely more to him than I initially thought. When the truth is discovered his confusion over his feelings and then his tenacity to regain his woman’s trust is all so beautiful to read. He is completely swoonworthy as he tries to win back his woman and I adored seeing that side of him. This story is well written and engaging from beginning to end. It is packed with love, romance, spicy scenes, action, family and humour and of course the brotherhood of Hell’s Bastards MC that we know and love. I can’t wait to see more of Hailey and Kinky they need to find their happily ever after and also seeing Brick fall is no doubt going to be exciting. Still lots to look forward to as the club continues to fight for survival and to protect its own. Their is a happily ever after for the couple but the threat remains unresolved. Overall a great story that is a great addition to a truly great MC series. Happy Reading.
Please note that I was given an arc of this book for my honest review which is exactly what I have given.

Blurb

Massimo Salvatore hates public functions. They’re a waste of time, and he has no interest in making friends within the Russo Mafia. He has his place, and no one is going to take it from him. The only reason he goes, is for one person. Adelina Ferri. She is funny, sweet, sexy, and she wears the worst clothes he has ever seen.

Adelina’s parents are embarrassed by her. They force her to wear clothes that are too large, and not at all flattering. However, soon it would all be over. She has learned that she is engaged to a man who has a history of hurting his wives. All of them are dead, and if she marries him, it will be a guaranteed death sentence.

When Massimo learns the truth, he cannot allow it to happen. Adelina is too kind, too good, to be allowed to be at the mercy of that … dick.

There is only one solution. He will marry her.

Her place is not as a Salvatore, and there are those in the Russo Mafia who will not let her forget it. However, when she is with Massimo, everything else fades. To everyone else, he is a monster, but to her, he is her savior.

He stopped her from dying. He has given her a future, but for how long. There is a traitor amongst the Russo mafia. One that is circling, intent on taking over. Massimo will not allow that to happen.

When his wife is taken, it is a race against the clock. But who is behind the threat, and will he make it in time?

Excerpt:

At the start of this engagement, Massimo had intended for his wedding night to be fake. He was not going to put Adelina through the pain of losing her virginity.

Only, they had gotten to their wedding night, and seeing her in her gown, being near her, smelling that hint of vanilla mixed with cinnamon, was a tempting combination. She made him ache so damn bad. He’d been wanting her since the moment he turned at the church and saw her walking down the aisle toward him.

To him, Adelina had looked absolutely stunning. He’d been drawn to her throughout the ceremony, and even at the after-party. Dancing with her had been a dream. She fit against him as if she was always supposed to be there. Absolutely breathtaking.

And now, as the door closed behind them for their wedding night, he had seen the looks from some of the women. He’d even seen Lily-Mae talking to his wife earlier, and he had sensed her withdrawal, and it pissed him the fuck off.

Staring across the room at her, with the door now locked, he released his jacket and cleared his throat.

“If you don’t want to … I understand,” Adelina said.

He looked at her, and then with purpose he closed the distance between them so he was right in front of her, and she had no way of escaping.

“You understand?” he asked.

“I mean, I get it, if you want to, you know, not … do what needs to be done.”

He reached out and stroked a curl back behind her ear. “I don’t know who has gotten into your head, but unless you don’t want my touch, Adelina, I have every intention of consummating this marriage tonight.”

He was not going to allow room for doubt from anyone. Adelina would leave this room his bride, and that was all he had to say about it.

Stroking some of her hair back behind her ear, he stared into her eyes and cupped her cheeks. At the church, he had been so tempted to ravish her mouth, but he’d seen the slight panic in her eyes and held back for her. Now, he didn’t need to hold back. He could do whatever the hell he wanted, and right now, he desperately wanted to kiss her.

He touched his lips to hers, tentative at first, and then he deepened the kiss, sinking his fingers into her bound hair. He removed the few clips that had pulled her hair back. Massimo was already addicted to this woman, and he couldn’t seem to stop himself.

With his other hand, he rounded her back, gliding down, going toward the curve of her ass. He pulled her in close so she would be able to feel exactly what she did to him. There was no holding back for him. He was hard as fucking rock.

“I think it’s time for us to wash away the day,” he said.

He took her hand and led her into the bathroom. If he tore off her clothes and just took her, he feared he might make her terrified of sex. That was not what he wanted. He had a sneaking suspicion that one time with Adelina would never be enough. He was already addicted to the feel of her lips against his.

bookshelves: arc

Sam has done it again! I absolutely LOVED this Mafia story. She has a way of creating such wonderfully atypical Mafia stories. Massimo is part of the Russo Mafia. He is feared for a reason, he’s a monster. Adelina’s family is part of the Russo Mafia. She has been treated horribly by her family and now her father has arranged a marriage to a monster. He has been married before but is wives and other women are all dead. She realizes what her future will be and has reconciled that she won’t live much longer. Massimo sees Adelina at family functions and always looks forward to talking to her. She breaks the monotony for him and he can’t believe the horrendous dresses she wears. When Adelina tells him to her upcoming nuptials, Massimo knows he can’t let it happen. His solution is to marry her. This begins the dark, dangerous, emotional ride that grabs you and doesn’t let go. This is a fantastic read! I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Blurb


When Astrid Sinclair was sixteen years old, she had her first encounter with Lord, the lone wolf who lived near No Wolves Road. He stopped her from getting run over, as she was so engrossed in her book. Lord was not a man anyone wanted to mess with. A grumpy, lonely wolf, with no pack.

But, he was also a man she couldn’t stop thinking about. That’s why she answered his ad for a housekeeper and chose to work at his ranch.

Lord hated books. Yet, every day, he went to the library where Astrid worked. He needed a cook and a cleaner, and Astrid answered that ad. The job was hers.

He wasn’t good with people, but Astrid called to a part of him he didn’t know existed. Astrid was his, he was sure of it. One night, during the full moon, he went to her, and he couldn’t control his need. She gave her virginity to him, and in return, he called her a convenience.

Hurt. Betrayed. She tried to forget about him. She tried to build a life away from him, even as she continued to work. However, there were forces working to bring them together. Neither could fight it.

They were at the mercy of their needs. Would they be able to forget their past and fight for their future?

Excerpt:

“I’m not going to do anything,” Lord said.

Blake looked at him, doubtful.

“I’m never close to home during a full moon, and I have no intention of going back there until after the full moon has come and gone.” That was as clear as he could get.

“You’re not. Won’t you starve?”

“I have already packed myself some food to get by.” He knew he was acting strangely, and the best way to deal with that problem was to keep a wide berth.

Astrid was the problem, as was the full moon. If he kept his distance, all would be okay.

He and Blake continued to fix the rest of the fences that had broken down. It didn’t matter how often he did this job, it was a never-ending task. Fences wore over time and constantly needed fixing. It was a job he liked to do himself, and not rely on anyone else. After they got through the fixing, he took his lunch case and let Blake take the car back to the house.

He made his way toward the forest that was far from his property, but also a nice, secluded spot that meant he never interacted with anyone else. In all the years he’d been at No Wolves Road during a full moon, he’d thankfully avoided other packs.

Lord knew he was an anomaly to most of the packs. He knew there were always horror stories about wolves expelled by packs. When he was first expelled, he had feared the rabid taking over. Becoming rogue. Hurting people. Even though he wasn’t the biggest fan of humans, he didn’t want to hurt anyone. He only hurt people in self-defense. And that was rare.

He found his spot, which was near an old-looking tree. This is where he spent a lot of full moons. There were occasions he would run, but he would always come to rest at the thickest trunk, and this is where he sat, opening his lunch tray and taking out one of the many burritos Astrid had prepared just that morning. She hadn’t known he’d been watching her. There were parts of the house where he could stand and just look at her without her knowing. Although, she had known someone was watching her, with the way she kept looking over to where he stood.

The burrito was delicious. She had made some kind of breakfast meat, rice, beans, cheese, and wrapped it all in a tortilla. It tasted so good, and within a few bites, it was all gone.

This is why he stole a second one, and he took a nice large bite out of it, stuffing his face as he did, trying to think of someone other than Astrid. This morning, she had worn a pair of jeans and an oversized sweater that kept riding up over her stomach every time she reached for something off the top shelf. He couldn’t get the image out of his mind. Not that he would ever want to. She looked amazing.

The temptation to close the distance between them and press his face against her stomach had been so strong. He didn’t know how he was able to avoid it.

Lord couldn’t deny he had gotten closer to her. There had been a moment when the temptation to pull her into his arms had been so strong, but he had avoided it and just stole the burritos, along with the cookies.

He finished the two burritos he had taken, along with the five cookies. It was in that moment, he didn’t know what he was going to do about food tomorrow. There was no way he could go back to the house.

Astrid was too much temptation. He couldn’t deny it. Even now, as he sat leaning against his favorite tree trunk, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. The delicate curve of her neck. The sweetness of her body as it pressed against him. He felt his cock start to thicken and his need getting stronger. Lord wanted her desperately. But she was human. There was no way he was going to stop her.

And he thought about that day, all those years ago, when he’d been minding his own business. She’d caught his attention for just a brief second, and he figured humans were crazy, with their heads so focused on books. He was not going to let anything happen to her.

He’d seen the danger, and it was like his wolf couldn’t stand it. He could blame his wolf, but the truth was, neither could he.

He felt compelled to protect Astrid. He had a feeling he knew why, but Astrid was a human, and he was never going to mate with a human. These feelings had to stay dead. It would never work.

💋 New Release: A Reapers Devotion💋

The Reapers are back!!!

A Reaper’s Devotion is NOW LIVE!!!

No one hurts the people of Lost Creek …

Blurb


For the longest time, Cyrus Tistleton has wanted Willow Evans, but he kept his distance as she was helping her sick mother. He also promised her mother he would give Willow time. That he would allow her the chance to heal, but when the time was right, he wouldn’t allow anyone else to take her.

After the passing of her mother, Willow felt lost, but she did everything her mother asked her to do. She healed. Now, it was time to help the people of Lost Creek. They needed someone willing to watch surveillance all day, and she is more than happy to take the job. There was a catch though—Cyrus will help her get the job, so long as she agrees to go on a date with him.

In the town of Lost Creek there are a group known as The Reapers. Their goal is to keep everyone safe, and to keep all dangers out. Cyrus is a member of the Reapers.

As for Willow, to help make ends meet, she became an author, of the erotic kind. However, Cyrus knows she’s a virgin, and it’s now time to put all of her imagination and fantasies into play.

Excerpt:

Cyrus pulled his truck into the small parking space in front of her home. The main lights illuminated the whole street.

Willow looked toward her home, then over to Cyrus.

“I had a great time tonight,” she said.

“Me too.”

“Do you want to come in for coffee?” she asked.

“Willow, I want to come in, but not to drink coffee. I want to … lick your pussy,” he said.

His words made her bite her lip, and then glance down at the dashboard.

He was being honest with her. Willow wasn’t a fool. She knew about the town Reapers, and she also knew their identities needed to be kept silent.

“I think, seeing as you’ve been honest with me, I think it is only fair I’m honest with you.” She pressed her lips together. She wasn’t going to say anything, at least not for a long time. “I know you’re a Reaper,” she said. There, she just blurted it out. “I know you can’t say anything, and I shouldn’t know, but I do. That’s why you went and dealt with that guy. It’s why the list of people I have to call in case of an emergency is not just the sheriff, it’s you or Daniel, or George, or Hank, and so many others.”

He didn’t say anything.

“Are you mad?” Willow asked.

“No, I’m not mad, just shocked.”

“Mom knew Dad was one,” Willow said. “He was honest with the two of us, and he was also honest that he couldn’t remain as one either. It really upset him. I hope I’ve not broken any code.”

He shook his head. “Family members tend to know, or not know. I think it depends on the person and if they feel they can handle it.”

“You knew my secret and I guess I wanted you to know that I also knew yours.” She turned to look at him. “Does that change anything?”

“No, I still want to lick your pussy, but what I can tell you is that tomorrow morning, I’ve got to leave early to do Reaper things.”

“Okay.”

“Do you still want to invite me in?” he asked.

She looked toward her house. “Yes.”

There was a part of her brain that was screaming no, because she didn’t have the first clue what she was doing. Another side of her brain wanted to know what to do. She wanted to get naked with Cyrus and do the kinds of things she wrote about in her books.

Climbing out of the truck, Willow didn’t linger and instead went to her front door. She had only taken one sip of her beer, and that had been enough to remind her of the rotten taste of beer. It was so gross. For the rest of the night, it was soda all the way.

Still, her hand shook a little as she tried to push the key into the hole. Cyrus took the key from her and slid it in, unlocking her door. She knew Lost Creek was a safe town. Her parents hadn’t gotten out of the habit of locking the door, and she still did.

Stepping into her home, she flicked on the light. She drew her curtains before she left for the night.

Cyrus closed the door, and she turned to look at him, and then she didn’t know what to do. She was nervous and excited. It was a lot easier to write what happened next. This was a whole new experience.

“Come here,” he said.

Willow stepped closer to him. There was a small gap between them. Not a lot, just enough, but Cyrus was the one to close it, as he reached out and gripped the back of her neck, and now they were body to body, toe to toe.

She tilted her head back to look at him. He was a lot taller than her, and she had no choice but to look at him like this.

His thumb stroked across her lips.

“Go upstairs, take off your dress. Take off everything. I want you naked, and lie on the edge of your bed. Lie back and spread your legs. When I come upstairs, I want to see you playing with your pussy.”

This is a completely standalone story.

This couldn’t be happening. Calliope Masters knew she and Jaxson Crease didn’t have the best start to their mating. At the age of eighteen when the pack declared they were mates, they rejected one another. She was a human, he was a wolf. He made it abundantly clear that he didn’t want her.

They were now trapped within The Hunt. A mystery realm that forced mates to confront their need for one another head on. Jaxson didn’t go to the Elder. He knew Calliope was his mate, and the truth was, he wanted her. When they were kids, they were inseparable. His own fear was what pushed them apart. He didn’t care that she was human. He had loved Calliope all of his life.

Now, within the rules of The Hunt, they had to fight to survive. They were about to face obstacles and challenges neither of them ever anticipated. Pushed to the breaking point.

Only there is something interesting about The Hunt. It is not the same for all couples. It changes as if it has a life of its own. And there is something so very similar about this one. But what could it be?

Will Jaxson and Calliope find one another and come to terms with their mated connection? Or, will they give up, and never see their pack or life again? The only way to get out of The Hunt is to be mated.

Excerpt:

“Hey, hey, it’s fine,” he said, reaching for her. Jaxson tried to steady her on her feet.

“It’s fine,” she said, looking far from fine.

And then, he cupped her face, staring into her eyes. They were slightly glazed. Her forehead was covered in perspiration. They were not ready for this, but he also couldn’t handle her being passed out from heat exhaustion, not that he would have a problem carrying her.

This could either go really well, or really bad, and without question, he closed the distance between them and kissed her. At first, it was just the meeting of their lips, joined together, and then that changed. The kiss deepened.

His hands were at her shoulders, hoping to steady her, and then, as if by their own accord, he sunk one into her hair, holding the back of her head. The other went down toward her hip, and he pulled her in closer. He heard her soft, subtle moan, and he swallowed it down, not wanting to stop. Calliope didn’t push him away, but the more he kissed her, the more he felt the temperature inside the place start to cool off.

Time passed and he didn’t want to pull away, but he had a feeling he needed to. Kissing her one final time, he looked into her face and stopped the kiss. He didn’t stop holding her. He needed to have his hands on her body.

Slowly, she opened her eyes.

“Thank you,” Calliope said.

“If it gets hotter, I’ll keep kissing you.”

She laughed. “Do you think that is why they made it so hot?”

“I don’t know. How are you feeling?”

“Sticky. Like I need a bath.”

And then, as if by magic, they heard it. Calliope frowned, Jaxson took hold of her hand, and they moved around the corner. There was a waterfall, but from where they stood, it did not look too deep.

“You’ve got to be kidding.”

“I guess they work hard to make it as romantic as can be,” he said.

“It looks so good,” Calliope said. “Do you think we should take advantage?”

“Yeah, I do.” He let go of her hand and pushed his jeans right off his body. He kept his boxer briefs on and started to make his way toward the edge of the water.

Before he went any further, he looked back to find Calliope removing her jeans and vest top. The last time they had been this naked, they had been kids. That seemed like a lifetime ago, and maybe part of an alternate universe. It didn’t seem like it was them.

He watched her, unable to look away. Not wanting to look anywhere else but at her. She wore a padded bra and panties.

“You look nice,” he said. The words just kind of blurted out of his mouth. She looked up and then smiled.

“You don’t have to just say it.”

“I’m not just saying it, I mean it.” Now he felt embarrassed. “Uh, so, yeah, that’s what I was thinking.” And then, with her getting closer to him, he stepped beneath the spray of the waterfall. It didn’t take her long to join him.

She was so close and he could smell her. Calliope always smelled like vanilla to him, which was one of his favorite scents. He loved vanilla—vanilla cupcakes, vanilla frosting, vanilla ice cream. If it had vanilla, he was sold.

He couldn’t help but be drawn to her. She looked so beautiful.

Jaxson watched as she tilted her head back and enjoyed the spray of the water. She let out a moan, and this was different from the one he heard a few short moments ago.

Her lips had been perfect. Kissing her was better than he ever imagined it would be. Every single part of her was perfection.

She opened her eyes, looked over at him, and smiled. “You’re watching me.”

“I can’t look away.”

This made her chuckle. She stepped toward him. “And why not?”

“I have no idea.” He took a step toward her, and Calliope tilted her head back. “But I want to kiss you again.”

He watched as she licked her lips, and it wasn’t fair to keep teasing him.

“Then kiss me,” she said.
