RELEASE DAY: Timid (Lark Cove #2) By, Devney Perry


               




TIMID

Lark Cove Book 2
By Devney Perry
Release Day – SEPT 4






Willa Doon has always been shy. Her quiet demeanor was something she’s always embraced. That is, until Jackson Page moves to town. The one man she desperately wants to take notice struggles to remember her name.

Year after year, Willa stands by, watching as the bartender slash playboy drowns his demons in beer and sex. Then one night, he shows up at her door, suddenly aware that the girl he’s seen around Lark Cove is now a beautiful woman.

Except what he doesn’t remember is that this visit isn’t his first. They spent a night together once before. A night he’s forgotten, thanks to a bottle of tequila.
A night that crushed a timid girl’s heart, and set a broken man on the path to heal them both.

“Oh.” She tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. “What, um . . .” Her fingers fiddled with the clip on the board. “What’s up?”

“You read my note?”

She nodded. “I did.”

“Good.” That meant we could move on from the whole me-calling-her-by-the-wrong-name thing and get to the days where she wasn’t slamming doors in my face. “Come to the bar and have dinner with me tonight.”

“Was that an invitation or a command?”

I shrugged. “Does it matter?”

She frowned and I knew immediately that wasn’t the right thing to say. Without a word, she marched toward the building between the bunkhouses marked SHOWERS.

“Hey, wait!” I ran after her, but she was walking fast. “What about dinner?”

She didn’t answer. She just kept on marching all the way to the women’s side, disappearing inside without hesitation.

Well, fuck.

I guess my note hadn’t worked after all.

I debated going inside the showers but didn’t want to terrify a young girl if Willa wasn’t alone. So with a grumble and a kick at the dirt, I went back toward the parking lot.

I didn’t miss Hazel watching from a window in the lodge, laughing her ass off. At least I was entertaining her.


She’d be in for another show soon, because I’d be back again tomorrow.

Synopsis:

When faking it becomes aching for it

  Damon 

They say a bachelor with a big “vessel” is a babe magnet.
And you know what? They aren’t wrong.
But the CEO of the family yacht company (a.k.a. my mother) is rocking my boat, demanding I bed and wed the heiress of one of our biggest competitors.
If my mother doesn’t get her way and decides to fire me, I forfeit millions in trust fund money.
So there’s that.
 Salvation comes in the form of Delaney Brewster, who just happens to need an investor.
In exchange, she agrees to help me stave off Mommie Dearest by pretending to be my girlfriend.
It’s a crazy faking idea, but even crazier?
My heart is telling me that spunky, sexy Delaney could be the real deal.

  Delaney 

It’s not an overstatement to say my 9-to-5 equates to lying underneath a hairy fat guy and faking an orgasm.
I desperately want to start my own business, but my cash flow…isn’t.
Until Damon Cavanaugh makes me an offer my bank account can’t refuse.
Pretending to be his girlfriend should be easy, since I’ve sworn off serious relationships.
And let’s face it, he’s easy on the eyes.
But the more I get to know Damon, the less it feels like acting.
And when his mother steps up the pressure, the gloves—and the masks—have to come off, exposing the one thing I swore to protect…my heart.

Synopsis:

He has all the right tools…and the skill to use them.

Need a carpenter who has all the right tools and the skill to use them? Look no further than me, Jackson Decker of Decker Renovation…otherwise known as Big Deck. I’ll let you guess how I may have inherited that nickname. Spoiler alert: it’s not just because I’m 6’5”.  
I take care of my female clients in many ways. Like I said, I’ve got tools. And I’ve also got rules:  
Three seconds, tops, for hugs.  
No going on dates.  
No staying overnight.  
And absolutely no letting anyone mess with my heart.  
I’m yours for the duration of the project. And then, it’s over.  
Most women find it difficult to say goodbye, and to be honest, sometimes it’s hard for me, too…literally. See what I just did there?  
But that’s the way it has to be, and I’ve always been able to handle it.
Until Madeline Callaway.  

I was only looking to get a big bathroom, not a big man, since I’ve basically sworn off relationships after my ex cheated on me. But when Jack Decker showed up at my door with his jaw-dropping sex appeal, devastating charm, and his huge…um, workboots, I found myself wanting his hands on more than just my bathroom fixtures.
I wasn’t prepared for how he’d make me laugh, blush, swoon…ache. Especially ache.
I wasn’t prepared for how much I wanted him to stay.  
Will I be able to follow our mutual agreement of insanely hot, no-strings sex, keep my emotions in check and let Jack go once he’s done the renovation?
Or will I need him to return and repair the hole in my heart?

Excerpt


I become aware that someones standing behind me, and I know this because I smell him. Its a very, very good smell—the kind of smell that you want wafting over you in a more private setting than a club. The kind of smell that makes you want to take off your clothes even when youre absolutely opposed to taking off your clothes. Its clean, masculine, woodsy, and Im just about to turn around and see who this smell is attached to when I hear a voice. “Hey there.” Just two words, but the voice sounds as good as the smell smells.

Olfactory test score: ten out of ten. Vocalization test score: ten out of ten.

Im feeling inebriated enough to want to see if the visual stacks up. I turn my head as the person steps closer.

Ohh, yesss, the visual most definitely stacks up, because this is Golden Boy, whos even more gloriously golden up close and personal.

I tip my head back, first and foreskin because his crotch is at eye level. Shit…I mean first and foremost. Its just that when youre making eye contact with someones penis, you get a little flustered, and it makes you think penile things.

Hes smiling down at me—looming, actually, and making me feel small and kind of stupid. But the two-and-three-quarter cosmos Ive had are giving me liquid courage, so I keep looking, doing a quick above-the-belt assessment. Not a strand of hair out of place. Brown eyes that make you think of warm caramel on top of ice cream, thick lashes, and neat, light brows, straight nose, square jawline, clean-shaven. Broad shoulders, and the sweaters loose-fitting, but Im betting on sculpted abs.

And thats as far south as I dare to go.





AUTHOR INFORMATION:

An advocate for animal rescue, Remy lives on a small farm with her very understanding husband and probably too many pets.

Memento Mori
Masters and Mercenaries: The Forgotten, Book 1
By Lexi Blake
Coming August 28, 2018



Six men with no memories of the past
One leader with no hope for the future

A man without a past

Jax woke up in a lab, his memories erased, and his mind reprogrammed to serve a mad woman’s will. After being liberated from his prison, he pledged himself to the only thing he truly knows—his team. Six men who lost everything they were. They must make certain no one else gets their hands on the drugs that stole their lives, all while hiding from every intelligence organization on the planet. The trail has led him to an unforgiving mountainside and a beautiful wilderness expert who may be his only hope of finding the truth.  

A woman with a bright future

River Lee knows her way around the Colorado wilderness. She’s finally found a home in a place called Bliss after years lost in darkness. The nature guide prefers to show her clients the beauty found in the land, but she also knows the secrets the mountains hold. When she meets Jax, something about the troubled man calls to her. She agrees to lead him to the site of an abandoned government facility hidden deep in the forest. She never dreamed she was stepping into the middle of a battlefield.

A love that could heal a broken soul

Spending time with River, Jax discovers a peace he’s never known. Their passion unlocks a side of himself he didn’t even know he was missing. When an old enemy makes his first move, Jax and River find themselves fighting for their lives. But when his past is revealed, will River be caught in the crosshairs of a global conspiracy?

EXCERPT


“This place is beautiful,” he said when she hesitated.

She nodded but didn’t move from her seat. “I love it here. I went to college in Denver, but I always missed this place. When I was younger, my dad had a house in Creede. He started the business there, but when he could, he moved us out of town. My dad was a loner, I suppose. Creede has a population of four hundred and Dad thought that was way too many people.”

“I know the feeling. I lived in London for a while. That was definitely too many people.” He kept his tone even. It was odd. Now that he was here, that hunger he always felt was tempered by her fear. He’d thought he would take anything offered to him, but he couldn’t having met her. If the blonde had offered herself up, he would have turned her down. Over the two hours they’d sat in the booth, eating fried food and drinking beer, he’d figured something out. Some people were more special than others. River was special. He should be more cynical. He could hear Damon Knight telling him to be cautious, but he couldn’t make himself do it. Perhaps it was the fact that he didn’t have a long well of history to draw from and to teach him that this was likely a mistake.

It didn’t feel like a mistake.

“Wow. I’ve never been farther than Kansas City.” She still wasn’t moving and her voice had taken on a tremulous tone.

His heart constricted, and it was surprisingly easy to not listen to his dick. His dick was pleading with him to get aggressive. His dick was trying to convince him that if he could get inside her, she would accept him.

Yeah, he wasn’t going to listen to his dick.

“If you’ve changed your mind, I can call my brother to pick me up. I have a phone and so does he. His number is programmed in. I don’t want to scare you. I had a good time talking to you tonight. It was one of the nicest nights I’ve had in a long time.” Ever. It was the best night ever. It was the first night he felt normal, though he wasn’t exactly sure what that word meant. Comfortable was a better one. That tight feeling in his chest had eased as he’d sat in the booth with River and Tucker and Heather.

Although he’d hated lying to her.

She finally turned, looking at him. Her eyes shone in the moonlight. “You mean that, don’t you?”

He wanted to touch her. He’d had to force his hands not to move toward her all night long. The most he’d allowed himself was to have their hips and shoulders touch as they’d sat next to each other. He’d decided it had been a good thing he’d sat next to her because he was fairly certain he had a case of Big Tag’s crazy eyes, and she would have seen them had he sat across from her.

“I do mean it. Please don’t get me wrong. I want you. I would like nothing more in the world than to take you into that cabin, lay you out, and make a feast of you. I want to kiss you and when I say that I don’t merely mean your lips. I want to put my mouth all over your body. But more than I want that, I want you to like me.” It was important somehow. He wouldn’t see her after tonight, but he couldn’t stand the idea that she was afraid of him.


Everyone was afraid of him. Everyone he knew was waiting for his powder keg to blow, but he’d sworn to himself earlier in the evening that it wouldn’t blow around her. He would protect her even if it was only for one night.

Have you been Aleatha’d?


**Review**
I am going to do this review a bit differently. If you have noticed I did not give this book a rating because I honestly couldn't land on a rating that I thought was fair or one that I could live with. I had so many emotions going through me while reading this: interest, enjoyment, surprise, confusion, anger, and finally calm. I had to take a few days because even though this is a novella I wanted to be clear from those emotions. A good book makes you feel all of those things so I guess the novella did it's job.

Paul and Jenn have been married for quite a while. It was love at first sight for both of them. They have never questioned their love. When the story opens the couple is in the middle of signing divorce papers. I know crazy right? But this is a story about a couple coming back to each other. That is definitely what this story was. They are both holding secrets that could make or break their marriage and what do they have to loose? Pretending to be something their not and keeping those secrets have started the cracks. Might as well expose those secrets and see if the cracks heal or break completely.

Aleatha Romig definitely proved that she has a way with words with this novella. She created a great story and two characters that you really feel for. Both characters are really likeable. The secrets they are holding don't stay secrets for long except for Jenn's which drove me a little crazy but it was also understandable. Aleatha shows you that divorce isn't always the answer. She also shows that she can really bring the heat. Some of the scene were very steamy and definitely well written.

Ok so now after reading this you're like, why don't you know what to give this book? Well let me show you.


Again you're probably asking why I have as problem with this since its a trigger warning. I have a problem with it because it was a vague trigger warning that didn't give the reader any real warning of what is about to come. This is what really and truly bothered me. While none of what happens bothers me personally, even though I have my own past it doesn't trigger me, it could definitely trigger someone else. I applaud Aleatha Romig for having a trigger warning. I just would have wanted a less vague one.

So all in all I thought the book was well written, the story was interesting, and the characters were believable. I would just take caution in reading this one. There is a plot point in the book that is a trigger for some people. So be aware of that as a reader.

“Who hired you?” Fran snorted.

“Come now, Darren. You and I both know I am not going to answer that.”

 “You will.” She sighed.

“You’re being ridiculous.”

 “There is nothing wrong with demanding answers.” He waggled the point of his knife at her. She still didn’t flinch.

“Are you going to torture me? Is that what you do now? Torment women because your ego is bruised?”

 “The last time I tortured someone, it was with my tongue, and as I recall, you screamed for more.” A slight flare of her nostrils showed that she remembered what he spoke of. There was no mistaking the slight hint of pink in her cheeks. She never could hide her blushes, especially when aroused.

She still wants me, too? 

Heat flashed through him followed by an instant cold bucket of don’t-fall-for-it-you-idiot. This wasn’t real.

“You need to let me go. You don’t know what you’re doing. My surveillance of you was standard industry business. You, of all people, should understand that.”

Yes, Darren knew all about espionage, especially that of companies and people.

But who was behind it of late?

REVIEW: Mission: Anaconda (Division Eight #3) By, AD Starrling









It should have been a simple mission. 
They were meant to get in and out in one day. 
Except it wasn’t. 
And they didn’t.

When a CIA double agent working for one of the most influential cartels in South America comes up with a lead that could help the U.S. government and their allies slow the growing scourge posed by drug lords in the region, ARMOR is assigned the task of extracting a bookkeeper and his family out of their clutches. But the mission goes horribly wrong and two of ARMOR’s agents end up in the hands of the enemy. 

There’s no love lost between Gaby Hawkins and Miles Dawson. Especially not after the kiss they exchange in a bar following a stupid dare. But when they find themselves at the mercy of the cartel, the two are forced to rely on each other to mount a getaway. 

Lost in the jungle without their weapons or a means to communicate with ARMOR, Gaby and Miles have to survive on their wits and locate the hideout where the bookkeeper has been taken. 

While the rest of ARMOR scrambles to discover their whereabouts, a deadly game of cat and mouse unfolds between the missing agents and the cartel men tracking them. And as the danger grows, so do the feelings between the two. Feelings that are changing into something neither of them anticipated. 

Time is running out for Gaby and Miles. Can they survive the perils of the jungle, outsmart their foe, and complete their mission? And will they finally realize how wrong they were about each other and how very right they are together?


Mission:Anaconda is the third novella in the high-octane, romantic military suspense series Division Eight, from bestselling author AD Starrling. If you like action-packed, sexy stories with strong-willed heroes and heroines, then you’ll love this gripping black ops series. 

Get this adrenaline-fueled read today and continue the adventure! 








***Review***

This was a well written contemporary novel. It was filled with action that made the book a fast read. This book had so many things going for it, there was humor, suspense, action, and a little romance.

The romance is where the book lost some stars for me. There was very little throughout the story. By the time we could feel the romance heating up the book ended. So I felt like I was left hanging with that part of their life. We don't really know how they end up.

A.D Starrling created a great Co-Op series and this is the 3rd novella. Starrling has a knack for creating an action story that pulls you in and makes you feel like you are watching an action movie. There were so many twists and turns, it kept you engaged in the story. The writing flowed really well. If you like well written action-thrillers with little romance this is the novella series for you.
