ARC Review - Makeshift Mate by C.E. Black!


BLURB:

This single father gig isn't so hard. Not hard at all. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, really. It's been a breeze! Or so I thought.

When my pack decides they aren't going to babysit my kid for me anymore, my whole life turns upside down. Don't they understand I have a job to do? I'm their Alpha. I don't have time for tea parties or ballet lessons... She doesn't have tea parties anymore? Wait, how old is she again? Nine? Since when? Doesn't matter. The point is, I need a woman. One who can do more than just take care of my daughter. I'm so busy, I can't remember the last time a woman took care of me. I don't even have time to date. That's why I'm joining the online dating site, Alpha Singles.

My daughter, Sara, needs a mother. And I need a wife. ASAP.

There are thousands of women out there. Surely I can find one who's willing to take on a workaholic Alpha Wolf and his moody preteen daughter. Someone? Anyone? 

MY REVIEW:

A ultra sweet read about a father and shifter trying to run his pack and raise his young daughter. Once he realizes he can't do both, he decides its time to find a mate! But its not all roses and sunshine and he learns all sorts of stuff that has him realizing even though he might not of been a great dad, he did his best and all it took was a good woman for this sexy and tough looking shifter to soften him up. C.E. Black won me over with this romance! Sexy, sweet, and wholly unique, Makeshift Mate had my heart melting and sighing.

I fell in love with Locke and Isa and enjoyed the banter as well as all of Locke's complications between him and his daughter as he tries to run his pack. It made what I would imagine, what single parents must go through, that much more real. I liked the characters and the plot was perfect, and lets not forget the cover. That baby was gorgeous and I freaking ADORED the colors! I am so intrigued with this new Alpha Singles series and I can't wait to see what is next.

Makeshift Mate gets a DELICIOUSLY ENTERTAINING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! I am in LOVE with this new series and I want MORE!

The whole stethoscope-and-white coat thing isn’t my cup of tea.
I prefer a man with an artistic vein in his body. 9 - 5 hours. And I can definitely do without the half-lidded, sleepy bedroom eyes. (Okay, so those are kind of sexy.) Tall, dark, and handsome doesn’t change the fact that he’s arrogant, cocky, and rude. Not that I care, but he’s made it clear he wants nothing to do with a quirky girl like me, which is why he said no. Turns out no isn’t an option. I have a quickie wedding to plan, and Dr. Jake Kissinger doesn’t have a choice. He looks at our situation like he’s stuck with me, but in reality I’m stuck with him. Stuck with his pouty mouth. His long, lean body. And stuck with those loose, low riding scrub pants. (Okay, so the doctor thing is growing on me.) When spending time together turns into more than it should, I know I’m in trouble. He isn’t supposed to make my heart pound. I’m not supposed to make him look twice. And we aren’t supposed to spend the night together. (Okay, so he has more than one artistic vein in his body, and other places.) Falling for him is definitely a mistake. Here’s the thing… Jake is unavailable, and I know it. Just not in the way you might think. I guess you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

MY REVIEW:

A FABULOUSLY WRITTEN ROMANCE THAT WAS SIZZLING HOT AND FULL OF PASSION AND HAD A RIVETING STORYLINE AND AWESOME CHARACTERS! 

The Thing About Love was a pure fun, sexy, and full of heart romance that had awesome characters. The banter was steamy and irresistible and I felt like the story had the perfect mix of heat and emotion. This new story by Kim Karr kept my attention from the very beginning and I loved all the ups, downs, and all the in-betweens! This is what romance should be like and I loved every minute of it!

The Thing About Love gets a SOARING WITH HEAT FIVE SHOOTING STARS! Its breathtaking and all around HOT. A great book to read in the start of the New Year.

The Upside To Being Single Cover Reveal!

 

     


If anyone asks, I knew better than to flash my boobs for Mardi Gras beads.

I still don’t know why I did it. Maybe it was the dare from my two best friends. Maybe it was the guys on the balcony saying they’d throw Fireball shots with the beads. Or maybe it was the quiet guy in the corner of that same balcony with piercing gray eyes, wavy dark hair, and a smile so tempting I wanted to climb up there and lick it off his face. Maybe it was because I never thought I’d see them again. Not that it matters. Not today. Because the hotel I manage was finally bought—and the guy who walks in and introduces himself as my new boss is Mr. Tall, Dark, and Silent. There are many upsides to being single. Your new boss knowing what your boobs look like? Not one of them.

ARC Review - Montana Wedding Belles by Eileen Green!


BLURB:

Heather Bowers needed something to do since she graduated college and hadn’t been able to find a job yet. Her mother and friends are getting married and have asked Heather to be the wedding planner. Planning a wedding for one person can be daunting. Planning a wedding for eight brides seems impossible.

Matthew Campbell had his heart captured by Heather years ago but hasn’t done anything about it. He decides now is the time to pursue her.

Being abandoned by her father before she was born has Heather leery of relationships. She watched her mother struggle with raising her, and Heather doesn’t want that to happen to her.

Matthew wants to show Heather that all men are not the same. He needs to show her that love and happiness are in the cards for her while helping her with the wedding plans.

With all the love that Heather is witnessing, can Matthew convince her of a happily-ever-after?

MY REVIEW:

OMG A HOT alpha male who is bound and determined to get the one woman he wants and will not stop until he has her... WOW! Who doesn't like a hero like that! I have enjoyed these Men of Montana stories, but after reading this one in the series, I am utterly in LOOOVE with Matthew and want a man JUST like him. And I really liked Heather and her personality. 

Montana Wedding Belles is full of delicious heat, heart sighing romance and a storyline that I found absolutely RIVETING! Eileen Green is one my favorite Siren authors with these Men of Montana books and I just get more and more hooked with each new story. But this one...THIS one was so much more special and sexy, sweet, and oh so irresistible. 

Montana Wedding Belles gets a WONDERFULLY SWEET AND ULTRA SEXY FIVE SHOOTING STARS!

"Good Morning Malibu, it’s another beautiful day on the west coast! I'm Noely Clark, your host: and I'm in the market for love…”

When the publicity team of the new local restaurant, Going in Blind, began their search for a hot, local celebrity to promote the wildly popular eatery, they couldn’t have found a better person than me.

Outgoing? Check.
Single? Check.
Open to finding love? Check.

I signed up immediately.

A hopeless romantic with an exceedingly demanding schedule, I've found it impossible to find the man of my dreams—so Going in Blind seems too good to be true! That’s until they start setting me up on dates—three very different, very attractive, very distinct blind dates—and only one thing is for certain . . .

I’m in big trouble.

Good Morning Malibu,
I'm Noely Clark, and I have a choice to make.
The question is who will I choose; the suit, the rebel, or the jock.


EXCERPT:


“There is no way that’s what that line means.”

“It sure as hell does.”

“That’s ridiculous. What, did you study palm reading as well as Spanish?”

He chuckles and says, “I just know things. And that line right there means you’re allergic to coffee.”

I shake my head and laugh. “You’re such a liar.”

He strokes my palm with his finger, running it along every line, making my insides flutter and my breathing pick up with each stroke. He’s so close, his body practically on top of mine, his breath pressed against my ear, his scruff rubbing my skin ever so gently. And me, well, see my hips? Yeah, they’re slowly gyrating in his direction. I would like to blame the margarita, or even the music, but I know that’s not the case. It’s my libido skyrocketing into dangerous territories from the way this man lightly strokes me in just the right way.

“Not a liar, just telling you what I see.”

“Is that so?” I lean in closer and ask, “Then how come I have coffee every morning and I’m fine? Seems to me like you just wanted an excuse to touch me so you pretended to be a palm reader.”

I hold my breath, waiting for his answer.

“You’re right. I did. Now give me a chance to touch you even more.” He retreats from the booth and holds out his hand for me to follow.

I take it without even giving it a second thought. Smiling devilishly, he guides me to the dance floor and immediately spins me into his arms where he takes my hands and links them behind his neck. Pulling me into his body, he places his hands on my hips and presses his forehead against mine.

As if it’s second nature to him, he starts moving us back and forth along the dance floor, his feet effortlessly gliding us. Intimidated at first, after a few passes across the floor, I start to feel the music and my muscles begin to loosen up.

“That’s it,” he whispers just loud enough so I can hear him over the music. “Loosen those hips, Sassy.”

A distinct trumpet and cowbell echo through the room, setting the pace and tone to the dance. It’s fast, yet commanding, encouraging us to grind together, and that’s what Beck does. His hands slide from my hips to my butt where he grips tightly and pulls me flush against his crotch. With my legs entwined with his, we stay in place as our hips gyrate together.

Breathless and turned on, I match his gaze with mine, his seductive eyes penetrating any last wall I might have had before this date, and for once in a long time, I let loose . . . completely.

“Just like that. God, you look so sexy.”

Leaning my head back, I let my hair fall behind me and give it a little shake before lifting my head back up and meeting his lust-filled, greedy eyes. His hands grip my butt tighter and I’m greeted by a noticeable hard-on.

I did that to him, and if that isn’t a turn-on, I don’t know what is.

My fingers start to play with his hair, twisting and turning the short strands, causing his eyes to haze over. Is it weird I want more? That even though our pelvises are pressed against each other, I want to be closer?

The music now flowing through me, controlling my every movement, I glide my hands down to his shirt where my fingers dexterously undo two more of his buttons, exposing more of his tan skin, his necklace in full view now. It’s a medallion I can’t quite make out, but it doesn’t matter right now, because all I care about is the muscular expanse of chest in front of me.

I slip my fingers inside his shirt and dance them across his chest, feeling the sinew of muscles flex with every move we make together.

When one of my fingers accidentally caresses one of his nipples, he growls into my ear and turns me around in his arms, causing me to temporarily lose my breath, that’s until his hands find mine again, securing my butt right against his crotch. I sigh and loop my hand around me to the back of his neck, anchoring me in place while he swivels our hips together, his lips pressed against my ear.

“Fuck, you feel good against me,” he whispers. His breath sends chills up and down my entire body as the music continues to guide me.

I push my butt even harder against his erection, heavy and obvious, swiveling my hips, loving the way I can feel his excitement so easily. I love that I affect him like this.

I’ve never been with a man so comfortable in his own skin that he doesn’t care about how I affect him. It’s like he’s proud of it. Of us.

It’s extremely rewarding.

Feeling the music, we dance slowly in tandem, letting the beat guide us. Still hanging on to him, my other hand now on top of one of his, he starts to feel the length of my leg, his body bending just slightly to reach the hem of my dress. When he moves his hand under the fabric, my breath stills for a second before he pulls away and lifts his hand back up my body until both of his hands reach my ribcage.

Oh God.

His head peers over my shoulder, his eyes trained down the valley of my cleavage. “I told you this dress was going to get you into trouble tonight and the way you’re moving against me, my self-control is slipping, Sassy.”

Taking a deep breath, I move his hand farther up my body and say, “Then let your will slip.”

“Fuck,” he growls into my ear, letting his hand move to just below my breasts. I suck in a breath from the contact and wait for him to move a little higher, but he doesn’t. Instead, he swivels his hips with mine and moves his hands down my sides until they’re resting on my thighs, his thumbs closing in on the juncture between my legs.

The heat level between us rises to inferno in the matter of seconds and my skin starts to prickle with need, a yearning I haven’t felt since . . . well since Jack, but before that, since I can’t remember.

“I don’t know how much more dancing I can do with you,” he says into my ear. “I’m about to combust here.”

I turn in his arms and look straight at him. “Then let’s get out of here.”



The way the words fall off my tongue sound so foreign to me, but then again, there’s not a chance in hell I want to take them back.



About the Author:

Author, wife, adoptive mother, and peanut butter lover. Will dance for laughs, won’t eat anything spicy because you asked, but will squeeze boobs in replace of a hug. Grew up in Southern California (Temecula, anyone? Anyone?) lived in New York (the armpit of NY, not the city) and now resides in Colorado with my wife, son, two dogs, three cats, and my multiple book boyfriends. Loves love, anything romantic, and will die if I ever meet Tom Hanks. Yay, books!
