**Release Day Blitz** Kill Me by LP Lovell







Title: Kill Me
Series: Kiss of Death #1
Author: LP Lovell
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: October 24, 2016





Blurb


Una

To many, I am little more than a myth. The Kiss of Death, a hired killer, revered by the some of the greatest criminal organisations in the world. Trained by the bratva themselves, without conscience, without mercy, the perfect soldier. I’ll kill anyone… for a price. Death doesn’t discriminate, she sells to the highest bidder, but even I have a weakness.

Nero

I want one thing—power. But power is merely a game of strategy. The pieces are on the chess board. Death is my queen, and also my pawn. She’ll paint this city red in exchange for the one thing she wants. Now all I have to do is watch it all play out. She’s nothing more than a weapon, and yet, I find myself wanting to dance with death, to possess her. And I always get what I want.

A game of power. A risk that could cost her everything. An obsession that would see the world burn at their feet. A bloodied king. A broken queen. Kill me or kiss me?

Tara's 5***** Bare Naked Stars Review


"I’m not getting out of here. Two grown men, against me, a girl. He’s going to break me and probably kill me, or worse, make me a whore. I know all about these things, the places they send girls my age. I’d rather die."

In a world of love and hate, there's LP Lovell. She takes all the flowers, chocolates and sweet nothings and throws them out the window. Instead she gives us Kill Me.  A look into a world no one should have to live. A world filled with so much violent, one can only hope to grow numb. 

"I don’t kill simply to survive, I like it, I live for it. Never do I feel more alive than when I’m taking life. The thrill of death has become an addiction I willingly feed. And I’m good at it. I’m the best. We all need validation somewhere."

Una isn't your average girl. In fact, she is unlike any female you have ever met. She doesn't rely on men to help her succeed. Una is her own warrior. She is strong, defiant, deadly and she owns that. When she teams up with Nero, heads fly. Nero doesn't need a woman to help him get through life. He's gained his power all on his own, and he craves more. But when the King of New York mets the Queen of Death, the only thing stopping them is their undeniable attraction to one another. And for anyone that gets in between them, death is the only way out!

"I gave up on all sense of morality a long time ago. Any soul I have left I’m willingly selling to Nero, surely. If the devil were a person then it would undoubtedly be him."

We all know that I'm a wee bit obsessed with LP. I realized after reading Kill Me, it because she's not afraid to write about the dark things in this world. Like Una, LP is a strong willed woman, who will speak her mind no matter what!  And with out LP, we wouldn't have Kill Me, an amazingly written book filled with blood, sex and greed.

Excerpt


She's never been bitten. This should be fun.


    The kiss method is the only acceptable way to feed on a human, for they experience just as much pleasure from the bite as we feel drinking their blood. It's euphoric, and some humans even become addicted to the sensation.


    I thumb her shiny wet lips covered in pink gloss and gently glide my thumb over them back and forth. Appreciative of my touch, she kisses my thumb and closes her eyes to take a deep breath. Then opens them looking into mine just as hungry.


    “I've been waiting for you, my Lord.” She backs away slowly, stroking her fingertips over her ample cleavage. “You’re a dying breed.”


    “You don't say.” I raise my eyebrow, inching closer as she steps backward in her red heels.

    “A vampire, who enjoys the thrill of the chase.” Her trailing seduction leads her to stand next to the exit door.


I like where this is going.


I stalk toward her, running my sharp nails along the surface of the stainless steel countertop. 

    I tilt my head slightly. “Are you implying, you want me to chase you? Hunt you down? Ravish you?”

    She doesn't hesitate. “That’s exactly what I'm implying. I want you to bite me, Vladimir...” The words “bite me” to a vampire sound just as tempting as hearing the words “fuck me” to an average man. “And when you catch me, you can have me any way you want,” she moans, slowly sliding her hands down her hips. A laugh escapes her lips and then she scurries out of the door. I give her a head start before sprinting after her.


I'm really starting to like this girl.

**Blog Tour** Reckless Abandon by Elle Luckett



Book: Reckless Abandon
Author: Elle Luckett
Genre: Erotic Romance/BDSM

#RecklessAbandonTour








Synopsis

Nixie Fitzgerald is locked in a prison of her own making. 

After her failed marriage, she built too many walls to let her guard down completely. There was no satisfaction in the few relationships she managed to have after the divorce, and going further than the third interaction takes trust – something Nixie will never give to a man freely again. The scars of her past run too deeply. 

When Jackson Hancock enters her world in a tempestuous crash of chaos, he shakes the very foundation Nixie has built, and she has no choice but to open her eyes and see the formidable man for what he is. There is no hiding from Jackson or his intense and demanding nature, and she's no longer sure that she wants to. Everything Nixie thought she knew is challenged, and her well thought out plans for the future are replaced with a rocky path of uncertainty. 

Can Jackson finally bring down Nixie's mental walls of pain and doubt, infiltrate her heart and ask her to give herself over to him in Reckless Abandon, or will Nixie’s past finally catch up with her and destroy everything?

Review

Tara's 5***** Review

In a world of social media, body shaming has taken over. Being a woman, body shaming is now part of our daily routine. Can I wear this? Should I wear this? Does this make me look fat?  Elle Luckett breaks down these horrible barriers and opens our eyes with Reckless Abandon. 

"Conquering fears was all well and good, and it sounded like a solid plan on paper, but putting herself out there to be ridiculed wasn't going to help with her confidence." 

Nixie has always been told she was fat, ugly, undesirable. Hear that enough and that is how you see yourself on a daily basis. Being newly single, Nixie tries to find that love she deserves, but having zero self confidence, she struggles to accept a new partner. On a whim, she allows a friend to take her to a BDSM club. Seeing people so free and open, terrifies Nixie. Until Jackson enters her sight.  Jackson is immediately taken aback by Nixie's beauty, but he sees her walls. Can he help her see who she really is?  And can he break down her walls by inviting her into the world of BDSM?

"Right now, she was an eager ball of inexperience opened up to him for the taking, and he was willing to teach her before taking her hard and deep until she screamed his name."

Even with Reckless Abandon having BDSM as its main theme, I couldn't help but see the vanilla, and how Elle helped women see that by being any shape, you have true beauty inside you. That sometimes, we have to take that leap and listen to someone's positive words, and allow ourselves to believe them. Thank you Elle!  (And the hot steamy sex is a very welcome addition!) 

"He reached out and ran a finger along the top of the lace, making Nixie's breath shudder from her in pleasure. She’d never felt as attractive as she did in this one moment with him. The feeling was completely alien to her."
