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?

Our Reviews

Review by Wendy:

Talon & Jade continue on their voyage of discovery, as more secrets are revealed and twists unfold, what does the future hold for the Steel Clan.

Obsession (book #2) gave us some of the answers that helped us understand Talon and his torment better and while Jade dug up secrets better left alone, ultimately it brought them closer.

Possession takes us on a conclusive journey for Talon & Jade but don’t for one second think that that conclusion will be easily found.  Ms Hardt continues to weave a tangle of secrets to the very end.

What is obvious throughout the story is the passion and connection between these two, no matter what life could throw at them we had to believe they could get through it, that love would win out in the end.

Congratulations to Ms Hardt on this hard hitting, powerful and passionate series, not for the faint hearted but most definitely for those whose heart believes that some things are just meant to be.



Review by Kristie:

Possession is the third instalment of the Steel Brothers Saga, and the final book that focuses on Talon and Jade's story.  

Though they are still integral to the storyline, the focus of the next three books will be on Jonah, Talon's older brother.  

I was so anxious for this book to come out, I counted the days!  As with the previous two, the chemistry between Jade and Talon is smokin', only this time you can feel the changes happening in their relationship. Talon is opening up more, letting her in a bit...little by little.

 We experience his past firsthand, and the truth is devastating. As the answers come, there are more questions. Ms. Hardt had masterfully blended the characters in this book. Hiding some in plain sight, while others disappear into the woodwork. 

The queen of cliffhangers, the author has once again left us hanging...waiting for the fourth book that will feature Jonah, but the story of Talon and Jade will continue within these books as well. 

Such a beautiful torment - the waiting, the anticipation, the relief that only comes briefly before more questions arise, and the wait begins again... Check. Mate. Ms. Hardt...

**Cover Reveal** Jared: Kings of Guardian (Book 5) by Kris Michaels



Book: Jared: Kings of Guardian Book 5

Book 5 in the Kings of Guardians series but all the books do stand alone.

Author: Kris Michaels

Genre: Military Erotic Romance

#JaredCover


Synopsis:

Jared King had endured more than the normal amount of danger in his life.  He’d jumped from planes into hot landing zones, been shot at, almost blown up—twice, damn near killed more times than he cared to remember. Yet, nothing in his past compared to the danger of admitting his feelings for Christian Koehler. When Jared pushed Christian away too hard, once too often, the young man finally left and took Jared’s heart with him.
Once upon a time, Christian Koehler had idolized Jared King. But after two years of the arrogant man's hot and cold mind games, Christian avoided the sexy Guardian like the plague. The jagged line between love and hate was paper thin and razor sharp, and Jared had pushed Christian across that line, with prejudice.
When Christian discovers what he believes is a common thread in several disappearances of the homeless and at-risk teens in his area, he immediately tells his superiors.  But neither his employer nor the D.C. cops believe the missing children are connected. Desperate to find out the truth, Christian swallows his pride and returns to the Kings and Guardian for help.
Jared seizes the opportunity to investigate the missing children and the unexpected chance to once again be part of Christian’s life. What he finds leads to a tempest of deceit, danger and intrigue that pulls Christian back into Jared’s world. This time, Jared vows to fight to keep Christian with him forever—no matter the cost.

**Release Blitz** Epic Love by Trudy Stiles


Title: Epic Love

Series: Epic Fail #3

Author: Trudy Stiles

Release Date: Sept 19, 2016






HEATH STRICKLAND, the son of a prominent district attorney, lived his life surrounded by violence and crime. He was an unwilling witness to the corrupt lives his father swore to prosecute and keep behind bars. His escape was his music, which eventually led him to replace the iconic singer of the world famous band, Epic Fail.



NOELLE DURAND lived in luxury, growing up on a sprawling estate, with everything she could ever want or need. Her life, to everyone else, seemed perfect. Perfect house. Perfect things. Perfect family. But nothing at all was perfect. She lived in hell. A hell that nobody on the outside could see.



As a neighbor and childhood friend, Heath would have done anything for Noelle. He would have given up the world to protect her and keep her safe. Their friendship grew into something that neither of them expected. But then she suddenly disappeared, vanishing from his life as if she never existed. He never stopped hoping that one day she would resurface, alive and well. But as time went by, and her family gave up hope, he surrendered his heart to his lost love.



Twelve years later, one phone call changes everything.



EPIC LOVE is the third book in the EPIC FAIL series and can be read as a STANDALONE novel.



This series is a spinoff from the FOREVER FAMILY series.




  






“I’m sorry, Noelle. I’m really sorry.” I don’t know what I’m apologizing for. The fact that I don’t believe her weak lie or because I kissed her. No. I’m not sorry for either.


“It’s okay. Really. Thanks for caring. And thank you for my birthday gift.” She pauses and brushes her pinkie finger against mine. “You made my birthday really special, and I’ll never forget it.”


Without thinking, I loop my pinkie finger around hers, linking them together. Linking us together. We walk to her window like this and I break our connection reluctantly, bringing my hand up to her bruised cheek. “Please be careful,” I beg, and I’m not sure what I’m even begging her to be careful of. I’m just so worried about her.


“I will,” she whispers. “Catch a couple fireflies on the way home.”


“I’d catch a million for you.” Her eyes light up, a smile on her lips. I want to kiss her again. So bad. But all I do is stare into her eyes and back away. I push the window open as quietly as I can and slide out onto the grass.


“Happy Birthday, Noelle.”


She smiles as we both slide the window gently along the track, closing it.


She leaves her hand pressed against the window and I immediately do the same, covering hers, only the glass pane separating us.


Her smile is weak and full of pain.


A pain that I would take away from her in an instant if I could.



Review by Wendy

Epic Love, Epic Heartache, Epic story, Epic writing, Epic Author, I love the word Epic.

The prologue will literally crush you, and sets the scene for the following story so very, very well.

I enjoyed this story so much.  I haven’t read any of the Epic Fail Series, but it did not matter at all, this story stood out for itself and had enough back story to make perfect sense.

The story gives you that warm fuzzy feeling and a sense of impending dread in equal quantities. It’s a journey of two people from a young age to adulthood, told in dual POV, their childhood experiences are very different. I love a dual POV and Ms Stiles managed to make them seamless.

The sensitive issues covered in the book are also handled well, and not over dramatised.

Noelle is just lovely, quiet, cute, and resilient and simply does not deserve the hand she has been dealt, her only joy in the world is Heath’s friendship and love.  But even this is not enough to change her fate.

Heath, yummy, yummy, yummy, handsome and yummy, oh I mentioned that already.  He’s just lovely and caring and not an arsehole that we have come to expect of hot men in books. He is left completely heartbroken by the turn in events and it’s only many years later that we learn the truth.

What was really heart-warming about the book was the road trip, I loved this time they had together, reliving the past but also rebuilding a future.


I congratulate Ms Stiles on an Epic Love story.






Trudy Stiles is a New Adult Romance author, mom to two beautiful children, and married to the love of her life. She’s the author of the bestselling Forever Family series including “Dear Emily,” “Dear Tabitha,” and “Dear Juliet.” “Epic Sins” is the first book in the Epic Fail series and will continue with at least three more standalone novels. “Epic Lies” is scheduled to release in the Spring of 2016 with “Epic Love” and “Epic Holiday” to follow in the Fall and Winter of 2016. She plans to write many more stories about some of the characters you’ve already met, and maybe a few new ones.


Trudy is a music junkie and you’ll know that she’s writing when you see her plugged into her laptop with her earbuds in. Her playlist is unique and is a must for her writing sprints.


When she’s not writing, she’s carting her children to their various activities while avoiding any kind of laundry or housework. She also loves to run along the boardwalk of the beautiful New Jersey shore.


She celebrates Wine Wednesday almost every day.

Excerpt
"You've made your point. You’re a legend; everyone knows your name. Now stop. You don't have to be this person anymore."

"Stop? What difference would it make? The damage is done. This is who I am," he growled, pounding his fist to his chest.

"This is not who you are; this is what you want everyone to believe. But I know the truth, you’re just like your father. Underneath all that hostility and rage, is a good man. And it would make a huge difference to me if you'd try to change," I said, giving him my irresistible big eyes.

He answered with a sigh.

"All I'm asking is for you to try."

"Why?"

"Because...I want to learn how to love you."
