Kick (Savage Saints MC #1) by Carmen Jenner


Excerpt 
“You gotta let go now, Princess. I gotta hand you over.”
Her panicked gaze meets mine. “He’ll shoot you.”
“No, he won’t.”
“Yes, he will.”
I smile down at her. “What are we just gonna stand here forever, you in my arms, your dad holding a gun to my head? If he shoots me, he shoots me. Ain’t nothing I can do about that, Princess. At least I’ll know I did one thing right.”
She takes a deep, shaky breath. “I’d be dead if it weren’t for you.”
I nod, because it’s true. If Slayer hadn’t come at a deal, Prez would’ve eventually killed her, and he’d have tortured her some more first. “Promise me somethin’?”
“What?”
“Get on your feet and then get the hell outta here. Prez will come looking for you again. He’s not a guy who likes to lose. Take as much money as you can, and get the fuck away from this life, otherwise you’re gonna wind up filling a body bag way too young.”
Lauren is wrenched away from me then. She screams as the Italian carts her off toward the clubhouse, flailing and slapping at him despite her injuries.
“Daniel!” she screams, reaching out toward me as he struggles to get her inside. Without thinking I take a step forward, but I’m attacked from behind. My knees go out from under me and I’m shoved face-first into the ground. Some heavy motherfucker sits down on my back. I buck, trying to unseat him, but I’m whacked in the back of the head until I stop.
“Well, isn’t that fuckin’ touching? The Angel scum, in love with my daughter? Didn’t I warn you away from her once before?” Slayer asks, circling me like a predator circles prey. The biker using me for a chair shoves his gun against the back of my skull.

“Yeah, I did,” Slayer continues, and he motions for the guy on top of me to force me to stand. I’m dragged up by the hair and presented to Slayer. “At the rally, where she fuckin’ went missin’!” His red, blotchy face almost touches mine. He’s so close I can see the blood vessels snaking out from the corners of his eyes. He’s fucking high. His daughter’s been locked up, raped, beaten, treated like a fuckin’ animal over some shit that she shouldn’t even have to know about, and the arsehole’s gettin’ high as a fuckin’ kite instead of findin’ her? He makes me sick. He’s everything I hate about the life. And he’s more than likely exactly where I’ll end up, because this is what we are—this is what livin’ in the club gets you: bitterness, enemies, and a shit-tonne of bad blood.

BOOK TRAILER


SYNOPSIS
When I was ten, my father indoctrinated me into the family.

A brotherhood who would fight, protect, and give their lives for one another. A club whose ties ran thicker than blood, murkier than the dirt and grime that tainted my soul. Stronger than the bonds that connected me to my own family.

A band of brothers, where loyalty was kept and paid in a currency of blood.

When I was twenty-seven, I betrayed that brotherhood.

I’ve spent every day since running, avoiding paying back that debt.

My name is Daniel Johnson. I have betrayed everyone I ever loved.

And I’ll betray her too.

This is my story—if you’re screwed up enough to want to read it.

Warning: Kick contains graphic violence, profanity, drug use, and explicit sexual situations of a taboo nature. Intended for an 18+ audience only. Not intended for pussies.
 


Excerpt
I take a deep shuddering breath, close my eyes and stretch my hand towards him. His touch is gentle this time, far more gentle than I’d ever thought someone with so much uncontained violence to him could be.
“Spread your fingers,” he commands. I do, and he lifts the roll of tape, presses the edge to my skin and begins winding it over my knuckles. I close my eyes. The strident sound of it stretching out from the roll makes me want to flee. It makes me want to run as far from his touch—from any man’s touch—as I can possibly get.
The feel of the tape against my flesh, binding, holding, is so much worse. I tug on my hand, but he won’t let go. My heartrate skyrockets, and sweat beads erupt over my brow and upper lip. I’m in that room again, struggling, screaming, trying to fight them off, and failing.
 Biker knows it, too. His dark eyes challenge, they dare me to run, but they also implore me to stay. It’s ironic that the only thing keeping me here, keeping me grounded, is the man who abducted me.
He holds my gaze. I don’t know exactly what is hidden in his dark blue one, but it suffocates the panic within me, douses it like water flooding flames. He bends his head to my hand. Taking the paper tape in his mouth, he rips it with his teeth.
I still. I soften. His gaze doesn’t leave mine, not even once. Not even when he starts in on my wrist, gently biting through each piece of tape before pressing it down with his rough hands. I’m mesmerised by his mouth, the piercing, and the soft, full lips. The light catches a silver chain around his neck, something I’ve never noticed before—but then I try not to make a habit of staring too closely at him. Not now, though. Now I watch every twitch, every blink, every intake of breath, and every inch that is swallowed up by his mouth moving closer to my flesh.

4 'Spitfire' stars

This is a brutal, raw and unrepentant MC book of all time. Created through a kut of monsters - betrayal, blood and revenge. 

Daniel 'Kick' Johnson is a bastard. Born into the club life to a junkie whore and a club brother, Daniel grows up within the Club and is spitted out as Kick. Kick kills like he fucks. Raw, savagely and licks ever last sweetened drop - blood and ......
Going in search of a dentist who molested one of the club's Old Ladies. Kick encounters a scene more brutal than even he could imagine. A scene that turned him hot and gave him a massive boner. Kayla Kennedy has been missing for three weeks. Brutally raped and physically scarred. Emotionally destroyed by three devious, sadistic men.  A Dentist. A Cop. A Priest.
"I've endured more pain than most can even conceive. I went through all of that and I'm still standing. I might be covered in bruises that are still healing, and I might be just as scared for what the future holds as I was in that warehouse, but they didn't break my spirit. My lungs still breathe, my head still processes thought, and my heart still beats. No, those men didn't break me- those men made me stronger."

"I love the broken ones because for a brief second, in the heat of the moment, I can truly forget how fucked up I truly am inside. I can forget about the darkness I crave, I can forget who I am and focus on someone else's pain, I am the king of shit, and my throne is built upon the bodies of all that I have destroyed, my crown is made up of her teeth and tears." 
Kick went against his Prez and brothers to help Kayla. There was some intense need to protect her. To help her. Kayla fought him every step of the way. She screamed, clawed, scratched blood, kicked and cuffed. After such a brutal ordeal, she had all this inner strength that pushed her forward.
Kayla, renamed Indie because of the passion and FIGHT that Kick sees in her. 
She wants revenge.
 He wants redemption.
 He sees his past in Indie and she may be his redemption. If he doesn't betray her to.

As Kick and Indie's path to revenge, survival and redemption entwine, Kick teaches Indie how to be strong, He gives her an outlet to rage against her anger and attackers, until she can exact her revenge. 
It was refreshing to see separate individuals developed and also portrayed sadistically together. Both from different worlds and yet so much alike. I loved Kick's violent and dark nature. I want to sell a boob to get more in depth into his mind. Indie's got some serious iron balls for a woman tortured and raped repeated and sadistically. Her spitfire attitude is what lured Kick in and her strength continues to  shine through.

Women are as strong as a brick shithouse and fragile as a flower.

Beautifully Insightful by K.C. Lynn



Title: Beautifully Insightful
Author: K.C. Lynn
Genre: NA |  Erotica Romance
Release Date: January 16, 2015



Synopsis

EMILY MICHAELS ~ Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong? Like you never fit in, or you weren’t good enough? This is how I have felt for as long as I can remember. 

I see the world differently than everyone else, I feel everything differently and I reflect on life differently. And being different in my world is not a good thing.

I live in a place that’s divided between the rich and the poor, the beautiful and the unbeautiful, the prestigious and the mediocre. I have always belonged in the first category, because my father was the Governor of Georgia. 

Growing up around people I could never relate with, my life had always been lonely, that was until my senior year when I met the one boy who would change my life forever. A boy who my parents would never approve of because he didn’t come from money or the same social class. He rode a motorcycle, had tattoos and was considered to be from the wrong side of the tracks. Yet he was still envied by many.

Ryder Jameson was someone who every guy feared, and one who every girl wanted to be touched by. He didn’t do attachments, or have friends… until me. And for the first time in my life I finally felt like I belonged. When I was with him, my different didn’t feel wrong or ugly. He made me feel beautiful- insightfully beautiful. Then one day my world came crashing down on me, and it would be six years before I'd once again see the boy I fell in love with.

RYDER JAMESON ~ After working my ass off I am given the opportunity of a lifetime, and if I pull it off I will be the youngest FBI agent to run one of the biggest undercover operations in history. Only the case that gets thrown in front of me leads me back to the one place I swore I would never return to, and to the only girl who’s ever mattered to me. 

Except Emily Michaels is not the same girl I left behind. She still looks the same, she’s still beautiful inside and out, but there’s one thing that’s very different about her, one very big thing, and it’s something I didn’t think was possible.

Ryder and I come from a world where politics separates us and wealth defines us, but even after all this time we will not let it divide us. 

Here is our story.





Sexy time with Ryder and Emily.

“Stop thinking, only feel, baby.”

I follow his command, and push his open dress shirt down his arms then pull up the T-shirt he wears underneath. “Take this off so I can feel you against me.” He sheds himself of the shirt within seconds then pulls me in close, wrapping me in his strong embrace. Electricity shoots through my entire body, and all the oxygen flees from my lungs.

“Damn, you have the softest skin I’ve ever felt,” he mumbles, burying his face into my neck. 

We do nothing for a moment but hold each other, feeling a connection that I know I will never feel with anyone else. I’ve tried, god I have tried to move on, but I couldn’t. I thought it was because I had no closure, but now that he’s back I know that isn’t the case. It’s because he still holds so much of my damaged heart.

Ryder pries my knees apart from his hips before running his hands up the inside of my thighs. I moan, my body trembling in anticipation for what’s to come. He reaches my panty line then gently runs a knuckle down the center of my wet panties, causing slight shock waves to travel through my body. I gasp and he groans. “Fuck me, you are soaked.”

My response is another moan as I thrust my hips toward his touch, craving more pressure. “Ryder, please,” I plead breathlessly.

“Don’t worry, baby, I got you.” He pushes my panties aside and runs two fingers through my wet flesh, skimming over my swollen clit before inserting a single finger inside of me.

“Oh god!” I cry out at the sweet invasion.

His groan is guttural. “Oh fuck, your pussy is as hot and tight as I remember it.” He begins pumping his finger in and out of me. “Look, baby. Look between us, watch what my finger is doing to your sweet pussy.” I glance between our bodies, and the erotic sight has my inner walls clamping down around his finger. The need for release becomes so fierce, so overwhelming, that I feel like my body is about to combust.

Excerpt

Taking Back what was stolen from him~

So whats the plan? And what do I tell people about you?

You tell them the truth, except leave out the part that Im an FBI Agent.

She tries making sense of that. How am I supposed to tell them the truth if I cant say youre an FBI Agent?

You tell them everything else.I hold her closer and bring my mouth to her ear. You tell them Im a part of your life again and Im not going anywhere.

Since when is that the truth?She means to be sassy but her tone is soft and unsure.

Since the day I came back, and everyone is going to know it, including your parents.

She stiffens. Dont, Ryder. I told you I would help you, but I wont let you use me just to piss my father off as part of your revenge.

She tries escaping from my arms but I hold her tighter. This has nothing to do with pissing your father off. This has to do with taking back what was taken from me, Emily, and thats you. You are fucking mine, you have always been mine, and Im not going to let anyone get in my way from getting it back- including you.

She keeps silent and I know it’s because she doubts every word I just said. Sweeping her hair to one side, I press a kiss to her bare shoulder and watch goose bumps break out over her soft skin. “Say it, baby,” I whisper, placing another kiss, but this time to her slender neck. “Tell me, you’re mine.”





5 Beautiful Stars



we were all humans until race disconnected us, 
religion separated us, 
politics divided us 
and wealth classified us.




The lovely Emily Michaels, is beautiful, inside and out. A sweet young lady with a heart of gold and an angelic soul. She has been living in the darkness for most of her life. Awaking mysteriously to images and blinding light, Emily must now learn to live in a world that scares her as much as it leaves her in wonderment. A life of flashing lights and rolling images, colours and words. Emily will learn that sometimes touch is much better than sight. Seeing things that once sent her spiraling into darkness, Emily will finally be able to put an end to her feelings of insignificance and lovelessness.

Remembering the heartbreak of a young Ryder Jameson, the one boy that cherished and loved her, Emily is shocked when six years after their teenage affair, Ryder shows up knocking on her door. 

*******

Ryder and Emily came from different sides of the plantation. One a working class mechanic, considered as white trash; the other, the Governor's daughter. Living the lifestyle of an aristocrat. Emily and Ryder are separated by many things. But when their bodies touch, and their souls unite, an explosion of  divine light, warmth and love overruns them. The aristocratic separation disappears and love blooms. A tatted, white trash biker bad boy and an angel that walks on earth.

******

Ryder Jameson has always known his worth in his small town of Georgia. Nothing. Nadda. Nil. He's white trash. Coming from a drunk and abusive family, Ryder has strived to get the hell out of town. Winning a scholarship to a Florida college, Ryder moves far and fast, unwillingly leaving behind his love, Emily Michaels.

Returning six years later, Ryder is astounded by what meets him when Emily's door opens. This starts their new beginning. A beginning that will start with the end of a generation, corruption and all lines will be crossed. Two teenage lovers will unite and take down all barriers that separated them years before.


We were kids who were told we would never make it because we came from two different worlds, but in the end we proved everyone wrong.



Beautifully Insightful is a novel that captures your full attention. It dominates all that you feel and know. It leaves you with a feeling... an indescribable  emotion and fills your heart with love and adoration for Ryder and Emily.

Conviction by Lesley Jones *COVER REVEAL*

 Book Summary

She was mine. Our love unquestioned. Our futures planned. But she didn't show. All that we had, all that we meant, and after all that was said, she just didn't show. That one act by her changed everything, but it especially changed me and from that moment on, there was no going back. No words of love, no whispered promises, just sex and drugs and rock and roll. No one gets a piece of Reed, but what they will get is the night of their life, the chance to let go, break their own rules and enjoy the best, the dirtiest, filthiest sex ever... Along with the other four people in my bed.
 I thought he loved me, I believed everything he said, every promise that he made but then, when I needed him more than I'd needed anyone in my life, when I was at my most vulnerable, he let me down. He chose to take a different path and leave me to pick up the pieces of my now broken life. I was changed forever and chose the easy option, letting others take charge of my destiny, until once again, I'm let down in the cruelest of ways.

Dirty filthy sex.
Love.
Heartbreak.
Betrayal.
High emotion.
And a bit more sex.
Conviction by International bestselling author, Lesley Jones has it all. Out March 2015.

Lesley Jones Biography

I was born and raised in a small working class town in Essex, just outside of East London. I am married with three sons and in 2006 we all moved to the other side of the world, settling on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about 50K outside of Melbourne, Australia. It's a whole new way of life for us down here, we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world.


I am currently a stay at home mum but in the past I have worked at Marks & Spencer, as a classroom assistant/teachers aid and have run my business.

As well as writing, I love to read and have been known to get through four or five books a week. My other interests are watching my boys play football...The round ball version.  I am happy to admit to being an addict of social media and I owe a lot to my Facebook and Twitter family in promoting my work. I am also rather partial to a glass... or bottle of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being my favorite. Being a born and raised Essex girl, I will happily admit to be being a big fan of spray tans, Shellac and am regularly, waxed, tinted and sculpted, although I am more likely to be found in thongs/flipflops than a pair of white stilettos these days.

Compromise Agreement by Isobel Hart


Release Date: Feb 6th 2015

When life places you a breath away from sleeping in doorways what would you be willing to do? As Natasha Watts and Sophia Riley watch their lives crumble in front of their eyes, Matthew Faulkner offers the best friends a lifeline. Fascinated and terrified in equal measure by the man, Natasha must decide if the benefits outweigh the risks… if she is willing to compromise and risk being compromised. And if she does? What will be left when it is all over?

About the Author


Ever grateful to my husband and kids for their loving patience with my writing passion, I self published my first novel, What goes around comes around, in June 2013. The sequel and concluding part of Lily's story - Full Circle - was released in January 2014. 

Very much a new girl to the world of writing, I was inspired by the authors I love so much, and appreciate the support from bloggers and other indie authors that made me believe I could write a story people might want to read.

I am also writing a teen fiction series for my kids - I'm not sure they're quite ready for Lily.

I hope you enjoy them. X



4 Stars




When two best friends, Sophia Riley and Natasha Watts, get together, it means nothing but trouble. On a girls night out, Sophia's mouth gets them into trouble once again. This time, it involves hunky millionaire Matthew Faulkner. 

The girls get themselves into some financial trouble and the only way for them to remain solvent is to work for Matthew. Hunky Matthew is the most sort after womanizing bachelor in town. His relationships are all based upon agreements, contractual agreements. *wink wink* Matthew has mommy issues and this leads him to foster the need for control over everything and everyone. He's also a very private individual and knows how to sniff out a gold digger. As much as it's annoying, his alpha male persona is invigorating and sexy as hell!

Matthew and the girls, have an agreement for six months. They become his escorts for the duration of the contract and he provides for their every need. All under a confidentiality clause, of course. When Matthew first saw Natasha, their first meeting was fierce and wordy. Matthew's dominance stood out to Natasha and there was definitely something that drew then both to each other. He was dangerous and she was the one woman that didn't want him. Talk about a match made in heaven... or maybe hell. 

While Matthew is cool and calm around Sophia, he is anything but subdued when it comes to Natasha, This fiercely independent woman, gets his blood boiling and yet all he wants to do is devour those luscious lips of hers. The woman is infuriating. She's defiant and stubborn. Everything Matthew is drawn to. His collected demeanor evaporates around Natasha.

As their contractual days continue on, Matthew and Natasha's attraction becomes stronger, until their unbridled passion lets loose, turning desire into physical and emotional turmoil. As their time spent together becomes more than duty; jealousy, position and insecurities both threaten to tear them apart; for good.

***I loved this story. Alpha male millionaire meets working class, down on her luck Natasha Watts. Fierce and sweet, endearing and so lovable. My only hiccups (2) was that an epilogue was needed. I felt that the ending was abrupt, and without an epilogue, it seemed unfinished. Also, the beginning chapters were slow, and dragged. I struggled to get through the first two chapters, and this is a make or break for any book I believe. Getting past those obstacles. It was a perfect read. Well developed characters, perfect best friend, and enigmatic alpha male. *sigh* I fell in love with Matthew before his part was introduced into the book.***
