Blog Tour & Giveaway: Their Discovery (Legally Bound #3) by Rebecca Grace Allen (Erotica, Romance)


Their Discovery
Rebecca Grace Allen
(Legally Bound, #3)
Publication date: April 29th 2019
Genres: Erotica, Romance
Exploring their fantasies could save their marriage…or push it over the edge
Legally Bound, Book 3
Samantha Archer’s life has hit a wall. Her world is housework, homework and reminding her husband—the biggest kid in the family—to help out at home. Once she felt confident, powerful and sexy, but Brady doesn’t seem to notice her anymore, and now all she feels is invisible.
Brady has tried being the goofy guy who stole Sam’s heart, but it’s not working. He’s losing the woman he loves and doesn’t have a clue how to fix it. He’s keeping his darkest fantasies hidden too, sure they’re not what Sam wants, and his inability to please her cuts him deeper than she knows.
When Sam lands a new job at a law firm, Brady still won’t pick up the slack, and one night giving him orders unexpectedly reignites their missing spark. Sam discovers the Femdomme she didn’t know she was, kindling Brady’s submissive desires.
But while things heat up inside the bedroom, life outside it starts unraveling. Brady’s need to call the shots at work complicates his hunger to kneel for his wife, and Sam has longed to experiment in more ways than one. Their exploration of dominance and submission goes a step too far when they invite Sam’s sultry switch coworker into their bed, and the fallout could cost them everything.
Warning: contains a six-foot-five, ex-football player geek and a ballsy, badass redhead who’s learning to unleash her inner Domme. Scenes depicting humiliation, pegging and threesomes could disturb, or stimulate a thirst for adventure.

Excerpt

“May I?” he asked.
She was caught off guard. He was just brushing the ends, but each soft tug stimulated all the nerve endings on her head. “Okay.”
He continued combing the last inch of the locks, rubbing them between his fingers. She’d assumed he’d forgotten how much she enjoyed this, but then he ran his fingers through her hair, lifting it from her face and gently easing out any tangles.
It was the most intimate they’d been in years.
He did it again, deliberate and slow. Brady had large hands, and she missed what he could do with them. He was even better with his mouth. It had taken time and direction, but once he’d figured out her spots, his tongue had been fucking magical.
He moved in closer, starting at her temples and combing at the roots before running his fingertips down the strands. The sensation was hypnotic. Jesus, if he’d done this instead of joking, the fight never would’ve started. With him standing so close, Sam got a hit of his scent. It was the same heady combination he’d always had—wood spice deodorant and peppermint soap mixed with an earthy bit of sweat.
Years ago, she’d worn that smell on her like perfume.
He gathered her hair and put it over one shoulder.
“Better?” he asked.
She paused, unsure about the dynamic between them. The fight seemed to have dissipated, but there was a strange vibration now—a different kind of energy. Like the charge in the air before a snowfall. “Yes, better.”
But she hadn’t asked him to stop. She didn’t like that he had.
He went back to the counter. Sam watched as Brady put away the rest of the dishes, then stepped toward the sink and turned on the water.
“Thank you,” she said. “For helping.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to,” he replied softly. “I’m just not sure how to do it right. Like your system for putting things into the dishwasher.”
She did have a system. A way to stack everything for maximum efficiency. She didn’t know he’d noticed.
“And I don’t know how you know where everything goes in the cabinets without looking. It’s hard for me to keep track.”
Sam frowned, guilt stabbing. He’d always had issues recalling things. It was why they’d met in the first place. Why was she never patient with it?
Staring at his profile, she threw out some sarcasm to lighten the mood.
“Well, silly. If you can’t figure out where things go, I’ll fucking tell you.”
She wasn’t sure if he’d missed the lightness in her tone, or if he’d caught it and was embarrassed regardless, but from this angle, she could see his chin lower slightly as a swallow constricted his throat. It was a small tell, something he used to do when she was tutoring him, ashamed because he’d gotten an answer wrong.
Back then she’d soothe him, put a hand on one of his giant arms and tell him it was her job to help him get things right. He’d blush and smile up at her, eyes sparkling and hopeful.
He wasn’t smiling now. But a strange part of her…liked his discomfort.

Blog Tour & Giveaway: A Soul Reclaimed by Shayna Grissom (Young Adult Fantasy)


A Soul Reclaimed
Shayna Grissom
Publication date: April 1st 2019
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
Hell is divided into seven regions. The first region is designated for the purest of souls, the seventh is for the evilest. There was once a king of Hell, but the steward family has ruled for centuries.
Nora, the stepdaughter of the steward is undone when her mother and step-father take away her beloved tutor, Peter. When Nora confronts the steward and her mother, the discussion is heated and ends with the steward in inexplicable pain.
Shortly after, Nora finds herself in the Starry Wood. Peter told her of the perils within the forest, and it’s not long before the inhabitants of the wood find her.
A giant hunter named Aegis comes to Nora’s aid. He is drawn to Nora, compelled to protect her from the steward’s assassins, the giants, and the evil souls who escape the seventh region.
Together, they travel the seven layers of Hell to discover why the steward is so threatened by a teenage girl.

Excerpt:

You could change things, the voice whispered. What, though? There would always be bad people. They would always hurt those weaker than themselves. I couldn't stop it—no one could. The worst part was that these people were escaping to kidnap good souls to bring them to this place. What would happen when the borders fully collapsed? These monsters could overrun the guards and roam the rest of Hell freely. Nowhere would be safe.

We passed the barricade into the next portion of the city. I assumed a rival gang held the territory on this side. Aegis still held my hand firmly as we made our way through what was an empty city center. The men at the barricade watched us, and it made me nervous. They seemed to know something we didn't.

That was when I heard more new voices, not the usual voice that was my own with someone else's words. These voices first came as whispers and laughter. They were voices I didn't recognize. I looked at Aegis to see if he was hearing these things, but he looked onward. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but it felt evil.

"Aegis, maybe when we get out of sight, you can run through," I pleaded. "No one would know what they were seeing." I had the worst feeling about the ghosted ramparts. Aegis seemed to feel the same way.

"I don't know the way, and it would be a choppy ride," Aegis said. "We've got to be at least halfway through the city. I feel like we're being watched."

"I know we are." And I did know.

I didn't know how or why, but they were waiting for us. The voices grew louder, but I didn't have time to worry about it. I tried my best to ignore them. I couldn't explain it, but it scared me to a point where I could no longer speak. I tried to say Aegis's name, but nothing came out.

"Okay," Aegis finally said, "but you need to trust me. Don't wiggle around." He picked me up and held me as if I were some stray kitten. Holding me close, he went into motion.

The scenery changed so fast I couldn't make out what things were anymore. I saw blurs of dark alleys and buildings. Occasionally, he would stop at a dead end, and the world jerked to a halt before he resumed moving at full speed down the next alley. "Choppy ride" didn't begin to describe it. I was exhausted by my attempts to hold my head up.

Aegis eventually cradled my head and neck like I was an infant, another indignation I had no choice but to endure. This sort of thing wouldn't have bothered me a few years ago, but at sixteen, I was a woman. If anything, the older I got, the more helpless I seemed to become.

We shuddered to a halt in another dead end.

"Are you okay?" he asked me.

I wanted to answer, but I vomited instead. The remnants of dinner spewed all over my clothes and down the front of Aegis's coat. "I'm so sorry," I said, horrified.

"This wasn't a good idea after all." Aegis's brow creased, and his eyes were sad. "We can't afford for you to become dehydrated, not in a place like this."

"At least it would kill me faster," I replied.

Release Blitz: Viking's Claim (Kilts & Kisses #4) by Madison Faye (Wildly Historically Inaccurate Highlander Historical Romance)




Title: Viking's Claim
Series: Kilts & Kisses #4
Author: Madison Faye
Genre: Wildly historically inaccurate 
Highlander historical romance
Release Date: May 1, 2019



Blurb

Never kiss the devil. Not even if he’s sinfully gorgeous. Or impossible to resist.
And certainly not when he’s got you tied and bound, and completely at his mercy.
…Uh oh.

I thought I had it bad when I was on my way to be married off to some weasley little lord to appease my family. But that’s before I’m taken by the most fearsome, vicious, alpha Viking to sail the seas.

Tor Odinson is a beast of a man. A savage. A bloodthirsty warrior and ravager. Huge, growly, dominant…and completely and utterly beautiful. I’m supposed to fear him, not want him. I’m supposed to resist him, not crave him.

…Yeah, whoops.

Because once he throws me over his shoulder, and lays his hands on me, and ties me to bed, and makes me feel things I’ve never even dreamed of, I know “what I’m supposed to do” is the last thing I’ll be doing when it comes to Tor.

I know it’s wrong to desire a man like him. But if this is a sin, I’m already damned.

I fell for the devil, and now I want it all.


Completely over the top, growly af, tropes for DAYS, and wildly historically inaccurate. As in, if you’re a history major, I’m so, so sorry. Warning: not responsible for lost or ripped bodices. Reader beware.

As with all my books, this one is safe, with no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed.

Release Blitz: Release (Off Balance #3) by Lucia Franco (Sports Romance/ Forbidden Romance)




Title: Release
Series: Off Balance #3
Author: Lucia Franco
Genre: Sports Romance/Forbidden Romance
Release Date: May 2, 2019



Blurb

After Kova’s devastating betrayal, Adrianna must become her own champion and place her Olympic dream ahead of all else. In doing so, she ignores the warning signs as both the extreme training and unending heartbreak begin to take their toll.

There is no atoning for what Kova did. The vow he made cannot be undone. With boundaries set and lines clearly defined, Kova will now have to be the one to relinquish control in order to regain Adrianna’s trust.

Though the dynamics shift between coach and gymnast, nothing can prepare them for the agonizing truth that is to come. Fighting for a dream becomes only half the battle when Adrianna’s fate is sealed, leaving them both with their biggest challenge yet.

** Author note **

Much like a student-teacher novel, the Off Balance series is a highly forbidden romance story between a gymnast and a coach. If you find this genre of novels to be not to your liking in any way, shape, or form, this series is not for you.
This novel is purely fictional and does not reflect on real-life events. Gymnastics is a hands-on sport that involves many hours of close contact with an instructor. My main goal was to focus not only on the beauty of the sport in detail, but also what goes on behind closed doors and how working with a coach for nearly forty hours a week can evolve into something more. This story is meant to push you, to take you outside of your comfort zone. I hope you take the plunge with an open mind before making judgment.
The Off Balance series is intended only for readers 18 years of age and older. Reader discretion is advised.

Now, ten years later, she shows up out of the blue. The problem, I’m not the boy she used to know. I have a reputation that could ruin everything. Still, I have to try. Even if nothing happens between us, having Sophie in my life as a friend is better than not having her at all.Come A Little Closer is the second installment in the Georgia Boys Series. It can be read as a standalone novel.
—
EXCERPT:
I blush and shake my head. “We should get started on the bedroom.”
Kevin follows behind me, fiddling with his phone. I refill the paint tray and set it on the bedroom floor. Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You” starts playing. Kevin comes up behind me, puts his hands on my hips and begins to move them to the music. He presses against my back. My hands fall to my sides, and I tilt my head against his chest.
“This is not helping my walls get painted,” I whine.
“Come on, dance with me.” he pleads.
I turn around and stare into his eyes. It would be so easy to get lost in them but I can’t. I won’t. My hips stop moving, but Kevin’s still dancing. I raise the paintbrush that’s in my hand and slap him in the face with it. Slap sounds violent. It was more like I grazed him with cream colored paint while my hand slowly moved in front of his face. Kevin stops dancing. His jaw hangs open.
“Game on babe.”
