Title: Loner

Series: A Good Guys Novel (standalone)

Author: Jamie Schlosser

Genre: New Adult/Contemporary Romance

Release Date: August 12, 2021

ROSALIE

I’ve been a prisoner in my own home for as long as I can remember. My mother says I’m sick in the head, and that’s why I can’t leave. And maybe she’s right.

But that doesn’t stop me from watching our new groundskeeper from my window and wanting things I shouldn’t. Like his hands on my body. His lips on my skin. Just him and me, running free in the world.

All I want is a normal life, but it’s a fantasy. Insanity.

Because no one would want a crazy girl like me.

PRESTON

I broke the cardinal rule of the private investigator business—I fell for my client’s daughter. When I agreed to go undercover to get Rosalie out of her house, I had every intention of bringing her to her father. After all, it’s what he hired me to do.

But Rosalie’s life is a tangled web of mystery, tragedy, and lies. Her loneliness calls to mine, tempting me with a chance at redemption I never thought I’d have. I refuse to deliver her from one hell to another.

Even if it means risking my life.

MY REVIEW:

Loner is a fairy tale retelling dream come true for me in full good guy series fashion!

Loner was a sweet, amusing, sexy and sincerely heart stopping irresistible romance that makes this final book in one of my all time favorite series one of the best endings ever! I am sad that this series is ending but exceedingly satisfied with this final book. Preston and Rosalie made me smile so much and I enjoyed this version of Rapunzel more than I ever imagined I would. This story really did give me the warm and fuzzies and I didn't for a moment want to stop reading it. Yet, I forced myself to take my time. And really, I think that was the best thing because I really savored this. I made it last as long as I could and now that I read it, I am looking VERY MUCH forward to doing a re-read of the whole Good Guy series. But before I do that, let me tell you all that you will SWOON, fall head over heels HARD for Preston. And Rosalie will make you laugh and smile and dream big dreams. These two have a sweet connection that I adored very much and there were moments of pure bliss, excitement and sweet and sexy romance that made this book the best thing I have read all year. I really can't say enough great things about Loner, I honestly can't!

PROLOGUE

She was just supposed to be a job I turned down.

I’ve been picky about my clients before, and when I was approached by a man with ties to the mafia in search of his daughter, my immediate answer was no. His personal private investigator had recently died under mysterious circumstances, and I didn’t want to meet the same fate.

Then I saw Rosalie’s picture.

I should’ve walked away.

I didn’t.

Jamie Schlosser writes steamy new adult romance and romantic comedy. When she isn't creating perfect book boyfriends, she's a stay-at-home mom to her two wonderful kids. She believes reading is a great escape, otters are the best animal, and nothing is more satisfying than a happily-ever-after ending.

BLURB:

I thought I made a deal with the devil. Turns out he’s a fallen angel. Very fallen.

Not only is Dominick Vicario tall, dark, and wickedly attractive, he’s also the head of the world’s most powerful underworld family. And the leader of the Fallen—former heavenly Watchers banished to earth who’ve become wealthy playboys.

When I meet him, my life is circling the drain. My job is going nowhere, my boyfriend is a jerk, and I’m in debt up to my eyeballs.

So, when the dangerously seductive mafia don offers me a deal that will solve all my problems, I take it. All I have to do is spend the rest of the summer with the mysterious billionaire. A couple of months jet-setting on private planes and yachts isn’t too high a price to pay, right?

But Dominick believes I’m destined to be his mate—and the key to all the fallen angels being restored to their rightful place in the celestial order.

And it doesn’t matter if I think he’s crazy. He’s convinced I’m his for eternity. And so are the demons chasing us.

Can I escape from his immortal curse? Or will his dark past come back to haunt us both?

MY REVIEW:

A devastatingly addictive, sizzling PNR that I devoured in just a couple short days because nothing could slow me down on reading this!

Mark Of The Fallen was SO GOOD! When I seen this pop up on my news feed a few weeks ago, I KNEW this was going to be an excellent read and wow, was I ever right. Sexy, intriguing, edge-of-your-seat-and-bite-your-lip-till-it-bleeds exciting, this PNR was everything I had imagined....maybe even more so. The characters and storyline drew me in and kept me fascinated and entertained right from the very start. I loved the action, suspense and the hot and steamy scenes. There were moments I didn't think I was even breathing because it was overwhelmingly good. I can't wait to see what else this author has next!

Excerpt

In so many ways, Lydia should have known. From the moment Daniel Joseph had appeared in her office doorway, there had been something about him.

But she hadn’t expected . . . this.

“Unless you tell me to go,” he said in a husky voice,

“I’m going to kiss you.”

As Lydia stared up into his face, they both knew

what she wanted. What she needed. Still, she kept them on the edge for a heartbeat or two.

“I don’t want you to leave.”

“Good,” he growled.

When he lowered his head, there was a rumble of satisfaction in his chest—and then she wasn’t hear- ing anything. Thinking anything. Worried about any- thing.

As big and strong as he was, his lips were soft against her own. Gentle, too, as if he knew she wanted to be handled with care—not because she didn’t want him, but because she did. Too much. And God, there were more reasons to pull away than get close to him, except there was no denying the chemistry. The connection. The heat.

And the experience was even better than the anticipation.

Aware that she was going to stop this sooner than she wanted, but much later than she should, Lydia lifted her arms and put them on his shoulders. His heavy body was rock-hard under his windbreaker, the muscles roping up to his neck—and that was where her hands went.

She just wanted to see if his hair was as thick and lush as it looked—

It was.

As she dug into the waves, he purred in response, like he was a great cat and she had found his favorite stroking place. And that was when he wrapped an arm around her waist. She did not feel trapped, though. She had the sense, as he continued to stroke her lips softly, that he would let her go immediately.

Not that she was going anywhere anytime the hell soon.

Inch by inch, their bodies came into full contact, her breasts against his chest, the front of her thighs meeting his, their hips brushing. And then the kiss deepened, his tongue licking into her—

Letting out another moan, she tightened her hold on his nape, in his hair, a sense of desperation making her rougher than she should have been—she was holding him to her now, grabbing on to him. But he was going with it. One of his hands traveled from her shoulder to her waist, to her hip, and she moved against his palm, imagining what it would be like to be naked with him touching her.

With those workman hands.

Daniel eased back and stroked her hair away from her face. “You’re a good kisser, you know that?”

“Am I?” She smiled like an idiot. “I could have sworn it was you.”

“I guess it’s us.” His eyes roamed her face. And then one side of his lips tilted up. “I’m going to go now.”

Lydia exhaled in surprise—but like she was going to sleep with him here on the mauve kitchen floor?

Not a bad idea, actually, she thought as she glanced down.

“Okay,” she said. “I understand. We do work together—”

“That’s not why I’m leaving.”

“So why are you?”

He traced her cheek. Then her jawline. “If I stay, I’m not going to let you get any sleep at all.” He stepped back. “You know where to find me, if you need me. And I’ll see you after we’re allowed to wake up at four-oh-one a.m.”

She nodded. “Good night, Daniel.”

Turning away, he lifted a hand over his shoulder. When he got to the door, he said, “Don’t forget to lock up.”

And then he was gone.

MY REVIEW:

Less than a moment after finishing, what I know now will be my new addiction, my must have drug and will be a epic series, I am writing this review. Claimed was a jaw-dropping, mysterious, and amazing story that left me with a whole lot of feels!

Claimed is so much more than an epic story. Its a priceless work of fiction that I couldn't stop thinking about even when I tried putting it down to give myself a break and to make it last. There were complete moments of awe and surprise and a one particular scene that I didn't see coming and that left my mind blown! I won't get into any detail because I want everyone to pick this book up and get as excited and surprised with it as I did. I will however say, this story is connected to some of our favorite characters that I can't wait to find out what happens next. Lydia is something special. A heroine who is in a category all her own. She is fiercely protective of her wolves and just seems to enthrall everyone she meets, including us readers. I loved her right away and Danielle is the kind of hero that you don't see coming right away. He turned out to be one of my favorite heroes and I am hoping for the very best with him in future books. Fans of BDB will no doubt fall head over heels for The Lair Of The Wolven!

Claimed gets a MIND BLOWING FIVE HOLY CRAP DID THAT JUST HAPPEN STARS! Its my new favorite series and it just started! WOW!

ARC Review - Traced (Blood Brothers #2) by Samantha Wilde!

 

BLURB:

He’s deadlier than sin, and her one chance at survival.

Tessa George has three days to sell six gold bricks before Lionsgate Kinship’s men kill her father—and then her. The tall, dark, and insanely hot black-market dealer wants nothing to do with her deal. Turns out selling four million dollars’ worth of gold is too much heat for a criminal. But when the men from Lionsgate find and torture her, the scandalous thug shows up.

Dare Holmes shouldn’t want a damn thing to do with Tessa, her father, or her gold. Not his circus. But her emerald-green eyes and sexy body call him back to her door. He’s thrust into the mess her father left her, but he can’t walk away. Not when being around her is an aphrodisiac and the thought of not being near her makes his chest ache. When they discover what her dad was involved with, the stakes become downright perilous.

Lionsgate’s men are on their heels. The bodies pile up in their wake. And one devastating revelation derails everything they thought they knew. As their attraction to each other grows, Tessa and Dare fall into a race against time—one that perhaps neither of them will survive.

MY REVIEW:

Traced, the second book in Samantha Wilde's exciting new Blood Brothers series, is even better, more thrilling, alluring and sexy as hell! 

This book was even harder to put down than the first. I loved the intensity and the danger and action as well as the irresistible chemistry  Tessa and Dare have got going on. It felt like one action packed moment led to anther in between bouts of scorching hot sex that had me moaning out loud. Dare was a dangerous, irresistible man that I was instantly attracted to while Tessa is the kind of woman I could easily understand and liked and thought she was pretty amazing. The story itself never once disappointed me and the plot was everything I could ever hope for in a great book. It drew me in and kept fascinated, entertained and craving more from start to finish. 

Traced gets a ACTION PACKED FIVE SCORCHING STARS!
