My marriage seemed perfect from the outside looking in.
People envied me. They wanted my life, wanted to be me.

Mrs Alejandra Gambino.
Wife of Dino Gambino. Daughter of Eduardo Castillo.
Respected. Loved. Mob royalty.

They had no idea of the horrors that lurked behind closed doors.
They didn't know I was at the lowest point a person could reach.

Enter Julius Carter.
Aloof, handsome, blue-eyed Julius Carter.

He saved me.
I screwed him over.

Now everybody was after me. My life was forfeit.
It was only a matter of time. I was a dead woman walking.

The question was, who would get to me first?


Sas' Thoughts:

Before I begin, if for some reason you haven't read Raw and your not afraid to read something different let me tell you this is one story you don't want to miss out on.  Don't add it to your long TBR list. Make Raw your next read! You'll thank me later. Get your copy --> Here



Alejandra

"See how good I am to you? You can have this all the time, baby."

Married to a man she hated into a family she despised, Alejandra did what she had to in order to get out of it. Of course she knew her actions came with great consequences what she didn't bank on was a unsuspecting alliance.

Julius

Paired up with Ling, together they're investing a murder that involves the Gambino family. After speaking with Alejandra Julius can tell somethings not right with the happy couple and vowed he will get to the bottom of it. 

"we all come into this world kicking, screaming, and covered in somebody else's blood"

When I first found book two to RAW was in the making I was over joyed! I have to admit though I was a little disappointed to learn this story would be a about Julius and not Twitch. however, by the end of the prologue none of that mattered.
Much like raw, Dirty isn't your conventional love story. But it will tug at every emotion in your soul and have you begging for more.

We do get a glimpse at Lexi and her son. From where we left off in Raw to present day. And all I will say is its good!!


Five stars for Dirty Ms Aurora well done!

But wait... there's more...

Book three.. Raw:Rebirth the one we've all been waiting for is in the works Be sure to add it to you TBR list and stalk.. I mean follow Bella aurora on all her platforms for updates

Having been brought up in a loud and boisterous family of Croatian descent, she developed a natural love for dramatics and humor. Only some years ago had she discovered a new love.

Humorous romance novels.

Kristen Ashley and R.L. Mathewson had opened a brand new world where she could lose herself yet feel safe and at home in their stories. Belle has been known to become a screeching banshee while anxiously awaiting their newest titles.

With words.
With writing.
With a creative imagination she never knew she harbored.

Friend-Zoned is the first in the Friend-Zoned series. Keep an eye out for this cheeky author.

Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, likes bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and a good f*ck.



He’s worked his way out from beneath a hellish childhood and is living the life he’s always imagined for himself. When he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he’s torn between his feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the one to end the life he loves.



Andrea ‘Dre’ Capulet is strung out and tired.



Tired of living for her next fix. Tired of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the mirror at the reflection of the person she’s become. Just when she decides to end it all, she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives forever.



And their deaths.



For most people, death is the end of their story.

For Preppy and Dre, death was only the beginning.



This is the fifth book in the King Series and it's meant to be read after Soulless.



Excerpt



“No! I hate you,” she spat, as I continued to tug her beside me.

 “Good, you can hate me while I fuck you,” I said. “But first things first. My lesson obviously didn’t take in that brain of yours. You want what you want and I can’t stop you,” I said, as we approached the train tracks which were elevated on a mound of gravel several feet off the ground. The warning lights flashed orange, the neon reflective barriers dropped down to cover the service road, while the bells indicating an approaching train clanged away. “And since I can’t stop you, I’m going to help you out. Bullet in the head was so three hours ago. I’ve got something even better in mind now.”

“Wait. What?” she asked, her teeth chattering. “You…you wouldn’t.”

“Wouldn’t what?” I said, turning around to face her, almost losing my footing when I noticed the trail of dried tears on her cheeks. I looked away for a fraction of a second to regain my composure. “You think I wouldn’t kill someone?” I cocked an eyebrow. “You already know that I’ve been there, done that, bought the motherfucking t-shirt, doll.” Her eyes went wide and she made a move to step back. “Oh no, Doc, I read your letter and I saw what you wanted. And remember, I’m nothing if not accommodating.”

When I pulled her to climb the gravel mound her knees locked up so I bent over and picked her up by the waist, tossing her over my shoulder, carrying her onto the tracks while she beat on my back with her closed fists. When I got to the top I set her down roughly and she fell backwards onto her ass, bracing herself with her hands against the large pieces of gravel under the tracks.

 The whistle of the train blew in the distance. It wouldn’t be long now. Dre made a move to stand up, but that wasn’t what I had in mind. I bent down and pushed on her chest, spreading her tiny frame across the tracks. I crawled on top of her, pinning her down with my thighs. I leaned over her, my chest to hers as we both breathed rapidly. She struggled underneath me to get up, pushing at my chest, but I wouldn’t budge. “Why the struggle, Doc? This is what you wanted, isn’t it?”

She glanced up at me as the train whistled again. Her gaze flipped to her right, where the single yellow light from the train emerged from around the corner, shining brighter and brighter as it chugged closer and closer. For a moment she stopped struggling, looking back and forth from the train to me.

“So what, you’re gonna die too?” she asked, hoping to appeal to my sense of self preservation.

I shrugged. “I get bored easily, maybe the devil will make me his errand boy or something.”

“Preppy, this isn’t funny. Get up and get off the fucking tracks,” she said, her concern shifting from herself to me.

I shook my head and yawned. She wiggled underneath me, and although there was a train barreling toward us my cock once again stirred to life. Maybe I should just rip down her panties and push inside of her. Train or no train, it would be one fuck of a way to go out.

“You have to choose, Doc,” I said, making my voice as serious as I was capable. “Life?” I asked, screaming over the sound of the train screeching against the track. I pushed my hard cock against her core and she gasped. Her trembling turned into a shiver, her mouth fell open. I glanced to the side at the blinding light of the approaching train as it bathed us both in a tunnel of light. I leaned down, so close that my lips were a whisper above hers, as I shouted, “Life? Or death? What’s it gonna be, Doc?” My hair blew around my face as the light grew brighter and brighter. “Answer the fucking question!” I demanded, my hands squeezing her shoulders, my fingers digging roughly into her skin. “DO YOU WANT TO FUCKING DIE?”

With only seconds left until we became shredded under the train, Dre closed her eyes and sighed. When she opened them again they were glistening, fresh tears spilling from the edges.

She started to speak, her lips forming the beginning of the word, but before it could fully leave her lips I stood, pulling her up with me. I lifted Dre into my arms and took a running leap off the tracks, my legs flailing in the air as we fell the seven or so feet. Dre’s decision still on her lips, her scream surrounding the air around us as we crashed down into the field.

“I wanna liiiiiiiiiiiivvvvvveeeeee.”
I believe Ms. Frazier may have redeemed herself with this book. I didn’t quite buy the way the last book ended and wasn’t as impressed with the author as I had been with her previous work. That being said, this book has restored my faith in her.
Dre has a ton of baggage and her share of demons following her. She’s in a bad situation when this book starts and she and her friends have crossed the wrong person. That person is now looking for retribution.
“I never knew true fear until I met pure evil.”
As we know from previous books, Preppy has his own ton of baggage and even more demons chasing after him. Is it possible that two broken people can put each other together? Wish I could tell you, but I can’t. Read the book but don’t expect to have all the answers at the end, it’s only part 1. (This book takes place mostly in the past).  4 stars and 3 hands down the pants.

Hello Lovers & Lusters! Cordelia Michelsen here!
Thought I would tell you a little about me.
I am a BW/WM romance novelist. However, I am currently working on my first supernatural series. Genre-hopping excites me!
I hail from upstate New York (* that very small town in “Still Life”).
First and foremost I am the mother of three crazy kids, ages seventeen,eight,and three. So between football, dance, and Mickey Mouse, there is never a dull moment. I have an amazing husband; I refer to him as Superman because not only does he put up with my wild imagination he also edits my books and makes some kickass chili. Did I mention he also plays stand-up bass?
I began writing seriously last year, so I am still a baby at this and I hope you'll bear with me. I have always been a creative person, though. I did theater for years and I was a singer as well.
I have always had a love for writing but would never finish anything I wrote! So my first book, “The Kings' Inheritance” was actually more of a challenge and a goal for myself that I was determined to follow through with. But then I wasn't done, so three months later, on my 40th birthday (mmhmm thats right, I am 40 and Fabulous) I released my second book, “Still Life”. Over the summer I worked on another project! An anthology! “The Where Love May Find You Collection”. As long as there are imaginary people hanging out in my head waiting for their story to be written I will keep writing.
Other than writing, my other passions include baking, gel manicures, anything and everything Coach, Jax Teller, Dean Winchester, and Damon Salvatore.

Excerpt:

The door exploded inward and through the smoke firefighters emerged. “Monica!” Coughing she crawled toward them, the heat intensifying around her. Just a little further…fresh air… Someone hauled her into his arms, through the gear and face mask she couldn’t see who it was. “I got her.” It sounded like Smoke but the muffling from the face mask made it hard to hear him. “Paramedics are standing by.” The other firefighter said as she was carried out. “Wilson, get another line.” Wilson? Smoke are you here? “Go on, brother, I’ve got it.” The second firefighter who rescued her jogged toward the fire engine. “Let me down…” A coughing fit overcame her again and he raised her in his arms slightly. “I can walk.” “Not a chance, darling.” Ignoring her demands he headed toward the ambulance. Not caring who her rescuer had been before, she hadn’t bothered to look that closely, but now that she was out of the burning house and safe, she looked into his eyes. “Smoke.” “Shh darling, you’re safe now.” He eased her onto the gurney before he squatted down in front of her and took his breathing mask off. “Is this the woman you were talking to Fire about earlier?” “Shut up Sam and help her.” Smoke eyed the paramedic for a moment before returning his gaze to her. “Blaze is on his way and I’ll be back soon. I’ve got to help the guys get the fire under control.” “Go. I’m fine.” She put her hand up, stopping Sam from putting the oxygen mask over her face. “Thank you.” “I’d always come for you.” He kissed her forehead, rose, and headed back to the other firefighters battling the blaze. “My home…” She mumbled more to herself than anyone else as Sam placed the oxygen mask over her mouth. “Things can be replaced. What matters is that you’re alive. Now lie back and let me look at your hand. Are you burned anywhere else?” work-hard-play-harder

Mr. Rebound

Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000038_00064]
Title: Mr. Rebound
Author: Kat T Masen
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: October 30
Goodreads
Synopsis
Moving across the country was supposed to be a fresh start. I’d made mistakes, but I told myself I’d no longer prey on emotionally unstable women. I don’t do relationships—I’m a selfish bastard that enjoys not answering to anyone—and relationships mean being with only one woman. More often than not, one that carries emotional baggage, like cheating exes or worse—kids.
After landing myself in trouble, again, my cousin Charlie dared me to settle down with one woman. I’m not one to shy away from a dare, so I chose Scarlett Winters, the most wanted actress in Hollywood. The sexiest woman on Earth.
I just needed to get past the roadblock—her assistant, Morgan Bentley.
The wicked bitch of the west.
Between her multiple personalities and the giant stick up her ass, I should’ve seen it coming. I’d been with enough women to read the signs. Morgan Bentley was after one thing, and one thing only. A rebound.
That’s me, right?
Mr Rebound.
But what if this time I wanted more?
