As a vocal artist Shazza Duncan knows she owns the top spot in London’s EDM music industry, in every other aspect of her life she knows she is doomed to fail.

You would think some of her career success comes from her privileged upbringing and her very expensive private education, but you would be dead wrong. Her family have ridiculously high expectations and loathe Shazza’s career choices. Her only escape from their oppression is in the studio and clubs, feeding off the high energy of her DJ friends and clubbers. Her family and their constant disapproval leaves Shazza feeling unworthy and struggling to form relationships with anyone.

When DJ Adam Chapman signs a contract to work with Shaz he has no qualms about making it blatantly obvious he wants her and will stop at nothing to tame the crazy club lover and make her his own. But Shazza faces some of life’s hardest challenges and, as much as she wants him, she fears any relationship between them will suffer when the proverbial mic falls and everything goes to shit.

Excerpt

There is no doubt about it. These after parties are about three things.
1. DJ’s bargaining and sucking up to one another, hoping to bag themselves a future gig.
2. Clubbers wanting to do drugs freely without security confiscating it. The mission; getting fucked up beyond all recognition.
3. Getting laid.
So why am I here? Truth be told, I don’t really know. I used to be the one on the kitchen island that the guys did body shots off of. Tara and I have been to hundreds of these after parties and had more fun than you can possibly imagine. Once we even drank until we were simultaneously vomiting into the ‘his and hers’ sinks in the master suites bathroom. I smile at the memory and look to the friends I’m here with. Everyone is going to pair up again, but me. I sit drinking myself into a daze where I’m just happily people watching, joining in conversation when something snags my attention. Then someone crashing down next to me on the sofa pulls me back to the here and now with a bump. Literally. I jab my elbow into the idiot’s ribs and wipe the vodka off my fishnet covered legs.
“Will you watch what you’re doing you numb nuts?” I grumble and look up to see Adam grinning like an idiot, albeit a very sexy idiot.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. You’re sat here like a freakin’ nun while the rest of us are showing you how it’s done. I thought you were the party starter, Shaz?”
The smug look on his face makes me smile. I suppose I deserve that one.
“I am. I just like a few drinks to get warmed up.”
“Well you have been nursing that bottle of voddy for almost an hour. How about you show me how you really get this party jumpin’ Xtreem style?” The gold flecks in his molten brown eyes flash in the disco lights and dare me to do something crazy. I’ve never been one to back out of a challenge and with all the alcohol I’ve consumed I’m feeling crazy.
“Fine. You get comfortable, Adam. I’ll show you how to mix it up,” I whisper into his ear before standing. I wobble on my heels, the blood and booze rushing to my head. I run my hands through my chin length black bob and square my shoulders before flashing him a wink and making my way to the DJ booth.

REVIEW - Forsaken Control by Sapphire Knight - REVIEWED BY LOUISE


* I was gifted a copy of this book for my honest review**

I absofuckinglutely love these books.  Everyone of Sapphire's books I read just get better and better.  With each book she pushes the boundaries and explodes my mind.

This is technically book 5 in the series.  But you can read it on its own if you so wish.  Personally I'm very OCD about reading books in order and to get the full impact of the books you need to read them in order.

This book centres on Ares, the club's enforcer.  And his growing affection for not only another member's ol' lady but the other member himself.  Their relationships develop from a one and a two into a three.  

I have to say, I am not big on male on male action.  It does nothing for me, and I tend to avoid reading MM books.  This does have MM action in it but even for someone that cannot read that it wasn't anything I couldn't manage to read.  I did enjoy the menage action between the three of them.

There is one part I absolutely love, it shows that even though they are ol' ladies that they really are not something to be messed with in themselves.  It's nice to see them portrayed as strong individual women, ones that don't need their men to fight their battles.

One bit in it annoyed me, it doesn't tell you what happens.  That's because it ties into another member's story which I am now chomping at the bit to read!

I love love love the ending, I will NOT give it away but yes its perfect.

Just another flaming fantastic, amazing, awesome, knock your socks off book that I cannot really think of any more words to describe how awesome it really is.


REVIEW - Allegiance by Rebecca Sherwin - REVIEWED BY LOUISE




** I was gifted a copy of this for my honest review**

Well as a massive fan of this series I was eager to read the highly awaited conclusion of the series.  I was also really upset to read it knowing that the series was coming to an end!!

Allegiance is the story of Jesse, it starts off from that fateful night he lost all his family which is mentioned in one of the other books.
We start to understand why he wasn't around much for Curtis and Skye in the previous books.

I love that he seems every bit "The Gentleman" and much softer than he comes across in the other books.

I have to say this is probably not my favourite of the four books, But it definitely still kept me on my seat throughout the entire book.
Poor Jesse has to sort so many things out so he can come back from the dead and resume his life.  Can he ever go back to his life though?  Can he ever be "Dr Kennedy" again?

One part in this book is explosively good, it made me literally gasp and hold in the tears.  If there was ever a moment you wished you could yell at an author, that was it!!

A fantastic explosive end to a brilliant series.  I'm gonna miss these characters.  Is it really goodbye? I do hope not.

∼ Excerpt ∼

Driven by desperate need to experience more of her, he let his mouth follow his fingers, sweeping kisses down the delicate column of her neck. Her collarbone begged extra attention, and he obliged, swirling his tongue over the tender skin to draw small moans from her. She brought her hands up to smooth along his shoulders, the light touch making his breath hiss between his teeth. He worked further down and she raked her nails gently along his spine until his tongue flicked over her nipple. Then her nails dug in as she arched toward him, soundlessly urging him to take more. He gladly obliged and let his fingers trail down over her ribs and belly, caressing her smooth skin, exploring every nuance. The prospect of possessing her became more real to him with every kiss, every stroke, and made his heart thunder, the force threatening to break through the cage of his ribs. It felt like a living dream, unattainable despite being right there within his grasp. Torn between wanting to lavish more attention on her tits, and the need to have more, Dix finally allowed his mouth to follow where his hands led. When his fingers reached the juncture of her thighs, she gave a sharp cry and let her legs fall apart. Pushed beyond his ability to stay in control, he shifted position for better access and fell on her with a growl, kissing and licking. Georgie cried out again and raised her hips while her fingers scraped hard along the back of his skull until she found hair long enough to grasp. He lost himself in the joy of experiencing her this way. Long before he had his fill, she tugged him upward. "Please, Dix, I want you now."

Blurb:
Freya Nissan grew up knowing that she was different. A free spirit, an outsider, a maverick who sees beyond the confines of her human world. She’s the soulful, idle daydreamer of her sleepy English village, who no one believes will ever amount to much…until the day she does.
Her visionary beliefs spark in her a passion to bring to life the dreams she has at night — dreams of journeying to other realms (entire worlds that exist alongside of and even intertwine with the Earth we live on now). And as this story embarks, Freya disappears from her village in search of a discovery that will change her forever. 

Christian Delaney died a long time ago. From that day to this he has been waiting for a love that seems determined to elude him…until the day Freya appears.
The inter-dimensional love story that unfolds between them proves to be as unique as it is troublesome, for not all are enchanted by Freya’s capabilities and for daring to be different she and Christian might just pay the ultimate price.

This series debut from bestselling author Annabel Fanning delivers a thrilling and compelling tale of adventure, love, and believing in your dreams.


Excerpt:
“So, where am I?” I ask nervously, walking forward and hoping that this awkward feeling will disappear very soon.
But before I can get an answer, I stumble over my own feet and fall forwards. He catches me in his arms without moving backwards. My hands are splayed on his chest. I remove my left one immediately, but the right one stays where it is. Over his heart.
We stare at each other. There’s a moment’s silence, which feels like hours. Then understanding comes pouring into me. 
Oh my God. 
I look into his eyes, my own now flooded with a mixture of panic and accusation. He stares sadly back — obviously I’ve reacted the way he feared I would. 
I feel nothing under my hand. There is no heartbeat.
“Am I dead?” I whisper. 
Images flash through my mind…my parents, Felix, my home…can this place really be where I am safest?
He looks down, then back into my eyes. The back of his hand brushes softly over my bruised cheek, but I pull it away. This is no time for him to be seducing me.
“Am I dead?” I ask again, a little more firmly.
He gently takes my hand off of his chest and places it over my own heart. I feel its quickened pace and sigh in relief.
“No, Freya, you’re not dead,” he says, seriously. “But I am.”

COVER REVEAL - First Ride by Tara Oakes

Tara Oakes is pleased to share the never before seen cover of First Ride, the first book in the Slayers MC Series!

*** This book is intended for those 18 years or older due to strong, mature, sexual content that is dark at times. ***
"Since when are bikers the good guys?... They're filthy as SIN."
Dawson McCade is used to having to fight for everything. He fought hard for his position as the President of one of the most ruthless, bad-ass, outlaw motorcycle clubs... the Riverdale chapter of the SLAYERS, MC.
He's prepared to fight with everything he has against the newest threat to his organization... the Conquistadors drug cartel as it begins to move in on his club's territory.
One thing he's not used to fighting, though, is against himself. Ever since the moment he first laid eyes on the innocent, angelic, Molly Donovan, his world's been thrown upside down. He's a killer, an animal, with dark demons buried deep. Demons that he's used to help fuel the drive that's gotten him to where he is in life. He's not looking for redemption, he's not looking for temptation... hell, he IS the temptation.
Molly, his "angel", brings a whole new threat to Dawson's life. One that can't be fought on the outside like everything else he's used to. She's going to cause a war within him, one that's more dangerous and terrifying to him than the bullets that the Conquistadors are sending his way.
The Slayers MC are soldiers, fighters. Dawson's going to need every single bit of those things to lead both his club and his heart to victory.
*This is a BRAND NEW series by Tara Oakes, authoress of the Kingsmen MC series. Although the two series will have slight overlap, this series is fully written to be read as a complete standalone from the Kingsmen. For those of you that have already fallen in love will Tara's sexy bikers, fear not... you're about to get a whole new group of alpha book-boyfriends to add to your collection.






First Ride is releasing November 10th, 2015!
