Book Synopsis:

Ten years, the Atlantic Ocean, and several rungs in society have kept Xavier Cain from having Sophia Montel. Now twenty-seven, he’s spent his entire adult life building a fashion empire that could finally prove his worth to her family. When fate reunites him with Sophia at London’s premiere fashion show, one problem lodges in Xavier’s path: Sophia doesn’t remember him.

 

The only obstacle that has kept Sophia from Xavier is a horrific car crash that erased her memory at seventeen. She’s spent the last ten years fighting to reclaim a sliver of her past that her mother refuses to help her remember. When Sophia meets Xavier at the London show, however, all her fantasies come to life in one night of passion. Discovering he is the missing link, she is determined to find all the pieces to their love story and her memory.

 

Xavier wants forever. Sophia wants her memory. If they take this chance, they’ll have to start over. How far are they willing to go get what they want? And when the past catches up to them, can they handle the truths it has hidden?

Book Excerpt:

Xavier stomped backstage behind his brother. He raked his hand through his hair, unable to believe he’d let her walk away.

His Sophia. He’d thought of her, dreamed of her, and prayed for her for the last ten years. And there she’d been, as if in answer to his prayers. He hadn’t seen her in a decade. And the small bit of a kiss he’d given her had only sparked his longing for her more. The girl he’d spent countless hours looking for was right there in London, waiting for him. She’d trembled in his arms. Silent yearning had been clear on her face, and all he’d wanted to do was sweep her up, tuck her into a limo, and drive away.

“Tell me again why you couldn’t handle this, Bryant?” Xavier ground out as they rounded the backstage corner.

Bryant cocked a grin. “You’re the boss, bro. You get all twitchy when things don’t go as planned. You always have your hands in the middle of it.”

Xavier suppressed a growl. He wanted his hands on Sophia, not cleaning up a fashion show mess. “I could’ve done without any hassles tonight. I was busy.”

They stopped in front of their storage room. Bryant slid open the door, and they stepped inside.

“Yeah, you looked busy.” Bryant walked over to a rack in the corner. In meticulous fashion, he plucked clothes from it and put them into over-sized luggage cases. “But in case you forgot, we’ve got things to do here.”

“I didn’t forget. I was doing something elsevery important.” Xavier dug his phone out of his pocket and sent a message to Diana and Marcus, whose problems were insignificant at the moment.

“The sassy raven-haired beauty is important? Figures.”

Xavier jerked some clothes off the rack and flung them into the cases. Keeping them neat wasn’t priority number one. Finishing quickly was. “It was Sophia.”

Bryant stopped packing. He gave a twisted smile. “The Sophia?”

Xavier’s nod was quick.

Bryant scratched his head. “You’re trying to tell me that some random chick at a London fashion show is the same girl you’ve been trying to hunt down all these years? The same girl you thought you knocked up before she vanished?”

“Her parents took her away,” Xavier corrected firmly. “Sophia wanted to stay with me.”

“Whatever.” Bryant started working again. “So we come here and bam! There she is. Well,good for you. Just don’t get all distracted andgoogly-eyed while we’re trying to work. Besides, how do you know it’s her? I mean, ten years is a long time.”

“Bryant, it was her.” Xavier dropped another load of clothes in the case as he stared at his brother. “I’ve never been more certain of anything in my whole life. And I’d appreciate it if you weren’t so smug about it.”

“Sorry. It’s been a long damn night. I didn’t mean to snap at you.”

He patted Xavier on the shoulder. “I know she meant a lot to you, and I’m sorry I had to drag you away from her. If I had known who she was, I wouldn’t have.”

“It’s all right.” He tucked the last of the clothes into a case. “After all, I created this fashion line to remind me of her. It’s only right to take care of it before I see her again at the after-party.”

“What?”

A smile curled the corner of Xavier’s mouth. “You didn’t think I would let her walk out of my arms without knowing I would see her again soon, did you?”

Bryant shrugged. “Well, no. I guess not. What are you going to do now?”

The lid of the case slammed shut, and Xavier jerked his vibrating phone back out of his pocket. “Well, as soon as I get these fires extinguished, I’m going to go start one with her.”

Bryant laughed. “After this long, that’ll be one hell of a raging inferno.”

“I hope so.”

Nikki Author Pic


My name is Nikki Narvaez. I was born and raised in San Antonio, TX, where I currently live with my husband, our two dogs, Bella and Oreo, and our cat, Cupcake. I have been teaching for four years, but I hope to become a full-time writer and stay at home mom one day. I am 27 years old, and have three older sisters who have blessed me with four nephews and one niece. In my free time, I love to write and play Texas Hold 'Em poker.



Teaser:


We went back upstairs to our room, where Brielle headed straight for the balcony doors, opening them and letting the crisp, ocean breeze flow into our room. She walked out and propped her arms on the banister of the balcony railing as she gazed out over the sea.



I walked up behind her, wrapping my arms around her, placing them on top of hers and pressing our bodies together. Her emotions were everywhere, consisting of concern, fear, anger, and guilt. I rubbed her arms, letting my touch wash over her in an attempt to erase the feelings plaguing her. She leaned back into me as she sighed, “Jace, I -”



“Shh, mi amante,” I whispered in her ear, cutting her off. “Don't worry about anything right now. Let's enjoy this last bit of peace together before we are thrown back into chaos.”



Surprisingly, she didn't try to argue. Her body relaxed against me and she pulled my arms to wrap around her waist before laying hers on top of mine. Our bond thrived as we held one another, the electricity humming over our skin and cocooning us in our love while drowning out the rest of the world until there was nothing but us.



I dipped my head down before grazing my lips along Brielle's neck. Every feeling was intensified with our connection so intricately synchronized, and I could feel our desire increasing with each intoxicating touch.



My hands traveled to her sides before trailing under her shirt to touch her silky skin. They moved upwards to capture her supple breasts, the nipples of which were already hardened with arousal.



Her hands had made their way to the back of my head, fisting themselves in my hair as my mouth laved her delicate neck. My cock stiffened with desire from the sensations of touching and tasting her, pressing against her ass as soft moans escaped her.



I trailed one of my hands down her stomach before slipping under the waistband of her shorts and beneath the lacy fabric of her panties. Her sex was drenched with her desire, and I let my fingers play within her moist, delicate folds. I bit her earlobe lightly as I growled, “Fuck, you are so wet for me already, baby.”



She moaned again as continued to intricately trace my fingers along her pussy. Gods, I wanted to taste her desire so badly. I spun her around, moving my hands to unbutton her shorts and pull them off before removing her panties. She went for my jeans, but I pushed her hands away and shook my head as I rumbled, “I wanna taste you, baby; need to taste how much you want me before I fuck you.”



I grabbed her hips and propped her on the railing of the balcony before kneeling before her and gripping her hips to keep her from falling. I pulled her closer, until her ass was on the edge of the railing before draping each of her legs over my shoulders and giving her a mischievous smirk, “Hold on.”



My tongue slowly traced the insides of her thighs, which were damp with her desire. I greedily savored her sweetness as I slowly inched closer to her apex. I took my time, slowly licking within her folds and nibbling her clit. I pulled and teased it with my teeth as she writhed against me before plunging my tongue within her core. She moaned loudly as more of her nectar flooded my mouth, her pussy already pulsing around my tongue as she neared orgasm.



I moved my hands from her hips to her ass, gripping tightly and pulling her closer as I devoured her, my tongue delving deep inside until she shuddered her release against my mouth. I eagerly suckled the rest of the sweet juices from her sex, licking it clean before I stood. I kept my hands supporting her as she slowly eased off the railing and stood on shaky legs.



I was far from done with her. Just in case we might not make it out of the Underworld, I wanted to savor every second I had with her, and I was going to spend the rest of the day doing exactly that.



I stripped off her shirt, tossing it to the deck of the balcony with the rest of her clothes before inching her back against the railing, pressing my body against hers. She hurriedly pulled my shirt off before undoing the button of my shorts and sliding them down my legs, along with my boxer-briefs.



I turned her around before pushing her down until she was bent over the railing. I spread her legs apart from behind as I eased my cock to her slick entrance. She groaned as I slowly entered her, clutching the railing with both hands as I began to thrust inside her. One of my hands held onto her hip, and the other trailed up her back to grab her hair, which had curtained over her shoulders and spread down her back, her head tilted upwards while moaning my name. I grunted, “You like that, baby? Like when I fuck you like this?”



Her cries of pleasure grew louder as she moaned, “Yes, baby. I love it when you fuck me!”



Damn, she was so sexy when she sounded like that. All the noises emanating from her were slowly unraveling my control, especially when combined with the amazing sensations of our bond. As I felt my release approaching, I stopped, wanting to watch her face as I made her come. I carefully turned her over, supporting her body, making sure to stay within her warmth as her legs were wrapped around me and her back was against the railing.



I resumed my thrusts, bracing one hand on the railing while the other gripped her ass as I plunged in and out of her. I leaned down to take her breast in my mouth as my gaze traveled up to her face. She arched against me, supporting herself on the balcony with her elbows while moans of pleasure escaped her open mouth as her eyes closed in ecstasy.



Her pussy throbbed around me as we both neared climax. I pulled her off the balcony and carried her to our bed, laying her down on the edge and inching her back until we reached the center of the mattress. I resumed my thrusts as I claimed her mouth, our tongues joining instantly as we devoured one another. Our hands frantically roamed over each other's bodies as Brielle took me deeper and deeper into her center, taking everything I was giving her.



Her pussy tightened around my shaft as she climaxed. The throbbing of her walls against my cock and her throaty moans sent me into ecstasy, my cum coating her walls with my release. I rolled to my side, panting heavily to catch my breath, but Brielle continued to roll us until she was on top of me with my dick still enclosed inside her.



Her hair was wild with damp curls and sweat glistened over her skin. She looked down at me through hooded eyes, causing my cock to harden again. “My turn."


Nikki's 4 star review: 4.75 stars

Emblazed was every bit as nail-biting  as Envisioned. There was more than a few times I caught myself actually biting on my nails. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it because Jace seemed weaker than he was in the first book but I gave it some time and the badass Jace that I loved in the first book was back with a vengeance. And Brielle, she was strong at times in book 1 but in Emblazed she was one of the strongest heroines I have ever read. The sex scenes? HOTT as always! Jace is such an alpha male and even though Brie is the one with the most power, his protectiveness and love for her shines bright. 
I also love all the things about Greek mythology. It has always been something that has intrigued me and getting to see this version of it was very enjoyable. 
The only problem I had with this book is that at times between the fighting it felt a bit slow. But that could be because I was ready for more action. Lol

This series and the authors writing is increasingly better with each passing book. I really enjoyed reading this book. It had me on the edge of my seat for most of it trying to guess what was going to happen next. I suggest you pick up this series if you're looking for books filled with action, steamy romance, a bit of mythology and nail biting suspense.

Sacrifice of Love by Quinn Loftis - Blog Tour - Guest Post & Review


 
 
 

 
Synopsis
As one evil falls, another rises in its place.  The powerful witch, Desdemona, has finally been killed by an alliance of wolf, elf, and fae. But Reyaz, brother to Cypher the warlock king, has vowed retribution for a life that was taken from him. Now Cypher must decide not only how to protect his newfound mate and his people, but also how to destroy the only family he has left.
Meanwhile, Jen’s pregnancy progresses and the fateful due date draws ever nearer. The thought of losing Decebel’s child constantly threatens to overwhelm her. With each passing day, Decebel grows more distant, causing Jen to wonder what toll the impending loss of their child is taking on him. Unbeknownst to Jen, in an act of desperation to protect his unborn child and mate, Decebel strikes a deadly bargain with the Great Luna—his life in place of his child’s. There is only one way for that to happen; the bond between he and Jen must be broken.
As Jen as Decebel struggle through their darkness, another kind of darkness is infiltrating Fane’s heart. Doubts and questions linger as he tries to cope with the emotions brought on in the aftermath of Desdemona’s curse. He knows what happened wasn’t real, but still he can’t rid himself of the terrible images seared into his memory. Jacque is his light, the one who keeps the darkness at bay, yet he won’t let her inside to do just that.
Sally continues to learn what it means to be a gypsy healer and Costin struggles to protect her as she runs full speed ahead to help her wolves, heedless of her own safety. She sees her best friends struggling, each enduring their own trials. She’s desperate to help them, but can she keep them safe?
With all of these things hanging heavy over the heads of the Serbia and Romania packs, their attention is divided. The wolves do not even realize a threat has slowly infiltrated their midst. Will they recognize the threat in time to save the lives that precariously hang in the balance?
Against this backdrop of darkness, choices will be made, fears will confronted, and the ultimate sacrifice will be made.  Will the wolves stand together to defeat the threats arrayed against them, both from within and without? Will love conquer all? Or will the beleaguered wolves finally succumb to their demons?

"How difficult is it to have so many strong male characters and give them each such distinct personalities"
 
Some days are more challenging than others. *Laughs out loud*For me writing strong males is second nature because it’s what I’m attracted to. I’m married to someone who is as dominant as Decebel, if not more and I love him for it. I think what would be challenging for me would be to write a weak male, I don’t even know if I could honestly.
Now once you have the strong male, getting the personalities so distinct can be a bit challenging but I think once you form an idea in your mind of what that male looks like and how he acts, then his personality begins to shape itself and writing it becomes instinctive. When I wrote Costin’s character I knew I wanted a funny guy, a jokster, but like all my males he had to be strong. So because he had that little bit of goofiness in him it was easy to write him and make him not look like Decebel. *scratches head* I hope that makes sense.
For me the characters become who they are as I write them. I rarely form a character in totality before I’ve written a single thing about them. My characters personalities begin to develop on the page as I write not while I’m sitting and thinking. I think it’s because my creative thought process just works better in motion and when I’m writing it’s like my mind is in motion. Again, I hope that makes sense.

 
Quinn that made perfect sense to me! Thank you for taking the time to write it and Thank you for a perfect ending to an amazing series! I can't wait to see what you have in store for us in the future!

 
Excerpt
Decebel watched as his mate walked to the pack jet, her shoulders pulled back proudly, and her head held high. She wouldn’t cower, not his woman. No matter how her heart ached, she wouldn’t allow the outside world to know it. His hands clenched into fists at his side and the swirl of fear and regret churned in his gut. He should just let her go. There was no need to draw this out, but the further she got from him, the more desperate his wolf fought to be free, to run to their mate. To hell with it, he thought as he walked quickly to her.
“Jennifer,” his voice was rough with emotion and he knew that his eyes were glowing. She whipped around, surprised by him. He took advantage of catching her unaware and grabbed her face, pulling her to him. Her mouth parted instinctively as his tongue pushed in. Her flavor flooded his taste buds and he savored it swallowing her down and reveling in the response shegave him. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she pulled him closer. He held her for a few seconds longer before finally pulling away and stepping back.
“I love you and I am still the man who claimed you. Never doubt that again.” Before she could respond he turned and walked away.
Jen looked over at Cynthia who looked as shocked as she felt.
“If anything, he’s still as bossy as ever,” Cynthia told her.
Jen grinned and they started towards the plane again, “And too sexy for his own good. If he were ugly I totally wouldn’t put up with it.”
 
 Nikki's 5+++++ Star Review:
Where do I even begin to tell you how much I truly love this series? There are no words accurate enough to describe it. I first found this series while browsing the free section on Amazon and came across Prince of Wolves. Both the title and cover jumped out at me so I decided to take a chance on a book and author I knew nothing about. I'm so glad I did! I fell in love with the characters and their story before I even finished the book. I've been stalking Quinn online ever since. lol. But enough about me and onto the reason why you're here. Sacrifice of Love. I have to say, it could not have ended better for the characters I've grown so attached to. I'm terribly sad that the series is over but I'm very satisfied with how it ended. 
Quinn's writing is powerful, but if you've made it to book 7 then I'm sure you already know that. I felt right along with the characters. They weren't just something I was reading, I felt as if I was experiencing with them. Their joy, their pain and sorrow. I cried for them; with them. At one point I even had chills! I've only ever had 1 book make me as emotional as Sacrifice of Love did. Only 1. I felt as though after 7 books that I was apart of their quirky team. I laughed at Jen's inappropriate humor and Jacque's smart mouth and I nurtured with Sally. And of course, I can't forget the deliciously delectable Alpha males we love to drool over! Ladies, these men stole our hearts long ago and they still have them!!
I HIGHLY recommend this series to anyone looking for HOTT Alpha males, some serious action scenes and true love like we only dream about! If you've read any of this series then I hope you see it through! Read it until there is no more to read and then read everything Quinn has put out and puts out in the future. She will always have a fan for life in me!

Temporary Bliss by BJ Harvey - Blog Tour - Review





Title: TEMPORARY BLISS (Bliss # 1, New Erotic Romance Series)
Author: BJ Harvey
Published: August 29th
Add to Goodreads:

Synopsis:

Makenna Lewis cringes at any mention of the word commitment. She doesn’t want or need a relationship, but she does like sex (who doesn't). 

That explains Noah, Sean, and Zander, her three 'friends with benefits'.
They know the score, they know they're not the only one, and each of them provide her with a different physical need that she craves and enjoys.  

Until a late night encounter with the delicious Daniel Winters turns her preconceived notion of no-commitment completelyon its head.  
Soon she finds herself feeling things she vowed never to feelagain, and when Daniel pushes for more than she’s willing to give, she falters.
What do you do when something that you’ve known to be so wrong in the past feels so damn right?
If you’re Mac, you run and hide.
But is Daniel the type of man who takes no for an answer?



Deleted Scene – Temporary Bliss

“Which boy of the week was that?” Kate asks with a smirk.

“Sean. I felt a little crazy last night so needed a spanking.”

I laugh as Kate spits her coffee out and starts choking.

“God dammit Mac, you’re so easy.”

“I’m not easy, I’m free spirited.”

“Free spirited with your body.”

“Hey now, no need to get jealous. It’s like having one boyfriend with four different talents. They’re all great at what they do, but there are particular things they excel at,” I say with a wink.

Kate giggles at that. I know she means well but I still feel the need to explain myself.
“Look, it’s what I like and it’s what I need right now. After Beau, I don’t want anything other than sex. They know the score and they’re fine with it.”

I don’t really feel the conviction in my last comment though. They’re supposed to know the score and be fine with it. But Daniel, I’m not so sure about anymore.

He seems too keen to see me, too disappointed when it’s time to leave, and has even broached the subject of catching a movie sometime. I’ve brushed it off but it is getting to the stage where I might have to break off our arrangement. It’s the last thing I want to do because he is just what I like to come home to after a long twelve hour shift. He’s the affectionate one. He’s always kissing me, nuzzling my neck, and God, the massages he gives me are to die for. Our lovemaking is soft and sensual, it;s lazy and hedonistic, it’s like a warm apple pie on a cold winter’s night. He’s my comfort sex. But get him fired up, and holy cow batman, that man can set me on fire.

Nikki's 5 star review:


Let me start off by saying how much I loved this book! This was Ms. Harvey's first Erotic romance and in my opinion she did it wonderfully! It held my attention from beginning to end and I finished it in a matter of hours. It has the perfect mix of romance, anticipation, angst, heart-break, and humor. Mac Lewis had some things happen to her in her past that's shaped her into the woman she is today; a commitment phobe. Until she has a chance meeting with Delicious Daniel Winters. Daniel is everything you could ever want in a man. He's kind, understanding, funny, with a touch of possessiveness that makes you want drop everything and let him have his wicked way with you. 
But before Mac meets Daniel she has what she calls her 'Penis Harem' Yep. She has 3, well we'll call them  friends with benefits. You have Noah, the hot surgeon, also known around the hospital as The Walking Dildo. You have Sean, who is a bit older and is known as Mr. Dom. I'm sure you can guess why. Then there is the gorgeous Zander, the male stripper, who is adventurous and fun. Though Mac has these men in her life, she doesn't actually sleep with them after she meets Daniel. Though we do get to see her relationships, or lack there-of considering Mac's no-strings attached clause, with each of them during times of reflection. When I first started, I thought I was going to read about a heroine who sleeps around even after the Hero is introduced but no. It was done beautifully. We get to see everything without the heroine devaluing herself. 
Oh, I almost forgot Mac's best friend Kate! She is a fire cracker! She is upfront with Mac on everything. Gives her honest opinion but not in the 'I'm in your face' rude sort of way. She's always there for Mac no matter what. Everyone needs a best friend like Kate!  I can't wait to read about her in the sequel! 
And lets not leave out the HOTT sex scenes! Even though its an Erotica, the sex isn't overdone. Some Erotica will make you cringe with their vulgarity but not Temporary Bliss. While it's HOTT and detailed, its done overdone. It's the perfect blend of panty melting hot, steamy and romantic. 
This book has everything you could want in a good read. I couldn't find one thing wrong with it. Sometimes I wanted to smack Mac but honestly, I can see where she was coming from so I couldn't fault her for it. 
Do yourself a favor and go pick up Temporary Bliss right now!! You won't regret it! 
BJ Harvey's writing style only gets better with each passing book! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next! 5 HUGE STEAMY STARS!!
