Holden

They thought they’d managed to get rid of me once and for all. They thought I’d just forget what they did to my brother.

But I’m going to make sure that they never forget.

If only I can stop thinking about her.

Rowan

No one sees me. Behind my brother, I’m a ghost, managing the family business that he claims to run. But I’m tired of second fiddle. I’m tired of pretending. I’m going to take what’s mine.

The only problem? Well, he just came back to town.

Fifteen years earlier Holden’s life imploded, and a need for revenge is pushing our hero to destroy take down everyone involved.

The world building focuses on Holden’s long term plans for revenge; a need to take down the Rothschild empire but he never expected for fall for Rowan herself.Rowan struggles with her attraction to the man taking apart her family legacy but all is not well with the people in charge.

The relationship between Rowan and Holden is acrimonious at best. An enemies to lovers in which Holden and Rowan’s tempestuous back and forth is fraught with sexual frustration and palpable sexual attraction. Holden’s slow seduction of our story line heroine may be the catalyst that pushes Rowan over the edge. The $ex scenes are impassioned and intense.

TWISTED KNIGHT is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, vengeance, family and obsession. The premise is dramatic, dark, and gritty; the romance is gritty and heart breaking; the characters are determined and charismatic. TWISTED KNIGHT ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 19, 2024

The past always has a way of coming back to bite you.

Diablo

One touch is all it takes. That’s all it ever took. I knew then and I know now what I want in life. You learn quick living on the streets that it’s not where you want to be the rest of your life. I won’t go back and I won’t let her either.

Years ago, life sucked, but I got the chance to turn it all around and I never looked back. Figured it was for the best. Didn’t think anything of it.

Not until I saw her again.

One look and I knew I’d screwed up, but that doesn’t mean I’m about to admit it. My brothers named me Diablo for a reason. I’ve got no problem being the devil in disguise, and she’s about to learn this very lesson.

••••••

REVIEW: TOUCHING DIABLO is the eight instalment in EC Land’s contemporary, adult SATAN’S KEEPERS MC erotic, romance series. This is twenty six year old Damari aka Diablo, and twenty-three year old, primary school teacher London Weaver’s story line. TOUCHING DIABLO can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from three first person perspectives (Diablo, London, Reaper) TOUCHING DIABLO follows the building relationship between our story line couple. Approximately ten years earlier, sixteen year old Damari (Diablo) and Jarrett (Beast) were living on the streets when they encountered a homeless thirteen year old girl named London. Approximately six months later, London’s father, returned to the US to discover his daughter was missing. Taking custody, London would disappear from Damari and Jarrett’s life . Fast forward to the present day, London may be in trouble, and Diablo is about to claim the woman with whom he has fallen in love. London Weaver is a primary school teacher but an aggressive boyfriend sends up too many red flags. ‘Rescued’ by Diablo, London finds herself at odds with Diablo’s lifestyle and his need to protect until our heroine is target by an unknown group. What ensues is the building relationship between Diablo and London, as our couple must come to terms with what is happening and why.

The world building follows several paths including the introduction of London’s father Liam Weaver, and his business Red Phantom Security, as well as the return of Diablo’s past, and the betrayal that would target our story line couple.

The relationship between Diablo and London is one of second chances of a sorts. Ten years earlier, Diablo then known as Damari , along with Jarrett took London under their wing in an effort to protect her from the streets. Reconnecting with London , Diablo knew immediately he would claim London as his own but someone else is determined to destroy their lives. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text..

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including Reaper, Angel, Daemon, Scythe and Beast, as well as their significant others. We are introduced to London’s father Liam Weaver and his team at Red Phantom Security, and London’s fellow teacher Tamara. The requisite evil has many faces.

TOUCHING DIABLO is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, dysfunctional family dynamics, obsession, relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is captivating, engaging and interesting; the romance is fated and furious; the characters are determined, and charismatic. TOUCHING DIABLO ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

🩵JUST A LITTLE CHASE (Dare Crossover #4) by Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde🩵

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play / Indigo /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 19, 2024

She’s in need of a fake, friendly boyfriend to charm her family.
He’s the last bachelor up for auction and a grumpy, last-minute stand-in.
Neither satisfies the other’s requirements but they might just be what each of them needs.

With Lauren Connelly’s ex marrying her sister, the last thing she wants is to show up at the wedding without a date. Which means finding a fake boyfriend ASAP. The charity bachelor auction provides a solution to her problem, except the man she bids on turns out to be a gorgeous but grumpy executive who scowls more than he smiles.

Chase Gossard wants nothing to do with Lauren’s plan to make him her plus-one at a destination wedding and pretend that he’s in love. He doesn’t do relationships, fake or otherwise—but she paid a lot of money for the privilege. So why does their touching, kissing, and sharing one bed feel all too real?

Lauren is smart and witty and sexy as hell. A down to earth combination that somehow softens his hard edges, and somewhere along the way, he’s falling hard for his fake date. But when it’s time to part ways, can the pretend girlfriend convince the confirmed bachelor to make things real?

••••••

REVIEW: JUST A LITTLE CHASE is the fourth instalment in the contemporary, adult DARE CROSSOVER / BACHELOR AUCTION erotic, romance series co-authored by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. This is Corporate Financial Advisor Chase Gossard, and Events Coordinator Lauren Connelly’s story line. JUST A LITTLE CHASE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: The DARE cross over series is interconnected with the authors’ KINGSTON Family, DARE and DIRTY DARE series.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Lauren and Chase) JUST A LITTLE CHASE follows the fake relationship between our story line couple. Lauren Connelly needed a plus-one for her sister’s wedding, the sister who is about to marry Lauren’s ex fiancé. An invitation to a ‘bachelor auction’ finds Lauren bidding on Chase Gossard, the only remaining bachelor for the evening but Chase wants nothing to do with our story line heroine and attempts to buy his way out of a weekend alone. Desperate for a plus-one, Lauren all but threatens our story line hero who reluctantly agrees to one weekend together. What ensues is the fake but building relationship between Chase and Lauren, and the potential fall-out as their time together comes to a close.

The world building focuses on Chase’s heart breaking past; the mother he barely knew, and the sister of whom he recently discovered. Lauren’s heart break is mired in betrayal by the two most important people in her life, but Lauren sees the betrayal as an opportunity to find something new.

The relationship between Lauren and Chase begins acrimoniously. Chase doesn’t do relationships, wants nothing to do with a weekend away, but Lauren is determined to face the family with Chase by her side. The $ex scenes are erotic, and impassioned without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Lauren’s parents Dale and Penny, as well as her sister Ashley, ex Greg, and Chase’s half-sister Billie.

JUST A LITTLE CHASE is a story of betrayal and forgiveness, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is heart warming and engaging; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are desperate and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 17, 2024

She’s a small town girl looking to escape her monotonous life.
He’s the NFL superstar looking to return to his roots.
Twelve years ago, he nearly destroyed her family.
Now they’re working together and the attraction she feels is…completely undeniable.

Lucy Dawson dreamed of leaving South Creek. But just went that dream is about to become a reality, the plans go out the window thanks to a two-timing ex and the wedding photographer they’d hired. Now she has to come to grips with not only having to stay in her hometown a little longer, but finding a purpose there. The last person she expected to give her that purpose and offer her everything she’s been looking for was the man who nearly destroyed her family a decade ago.

For twelve years, Jax Wylder has lived with the guilt of causing the accident that nearly took his best friend’s life. Now that he’s looking at retirement after a successful NFL career, he wants to give back to his community—and maybe help clear his conscience—by opening a camp for kids with disabilities. It won’t change what happened to his best friend, but it’s something he feels strongly about. When he learns that Lucy is a pediatric physical therapist, she’s the perfect person to enlist for help. Only he’s surprised to learn that she not only despises him, but blames him for everything that’s gone wrong in her life.

It doesn’t take long for Lucy to realize that she might not have the entire story about Jax and that fateful night twelve years ago. Now she has to balance making amends and fighting the inconvenient but undeniable attraction she feels for him. They have a lot to overcome, but there’s no denying that sometimes there really is a fine line between love and hate.

••••••

REVIEW: UNDENIABLE LOVE is the third instalment in Samantha Chase’s contemporary, adult WYLDER LOVE romance series-a spin off from the author’s THE MONTGOMERY BROTHERS and the BAND ON THE RUNS series. This is professional football player Jax Wylder, and pediatric physio-therapist Lucy Dawson’s story line. UNDENIABLE LOVE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Lucy and Jax) UNDENIABLE LOVE follows the enemies to lovers, brother’s best friend romance and relationship between our story line couple. Twelve years earlier, Jax Wylder’s life imploded when a car accident nearly destroyed his best friend’s life. Fast forward to present day, Jax is hoping to open a camps for kids with disabilities, and his best friend’s sister is recommended as part of the team. Enter pediatric physio therapist Lucy Dawson, the woman with whom Jax will fall in love. Lucy has spent the last ten years hating our story line hero; blaming Jax for destroying her brother’s future football career, but never knowing the entire truth about what happened or why. When Lucy discovers her fiancé is having an affair, our heroine decides to take a chance with Jax and his kids camp, never expecting to fall in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Lucy and Jax, and the potential fall-out as Lucy finds herself on the sidelines when Jax’ career begins to implode.

The world building follows the every changing family dynamics of both the Dawson and Wylder’s family. The Wylder brothers are tight, supporting one another through personal tragedies and triumphs but an unwelcome call reveals secrets from the past. While Lucy struggles to keep her relationship with Jax a secret, she knows that once revealed, will send the Dawson family into a tailspin.

The relationship between Jax and Lucy is a best friend’s sister / enemies to lovers in the wake of the accident twelve years earlier. Lucy has placed all of the blame on our story line hero but once the truth is revealed, Lucy sees something more in Jax, than the man she once hated. There are no $ex scenes, everything is implied.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters most of whom are members of Lucy and Jax’ extended families: Noah and Lily (Irresistible Love 1), Simon and Juliette (Indescribable Love 2); Lucy’s brother Tyler Dawson , and her best friend Gemma.

UNDENIABLE LOVE is a story of misunderstanding and blame, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The premise is engaging and sensitive; the characters are animated; the romance is tender.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 17, 2024

In this fun, sexy college romance, a transfer student finds herself living in a house full of football players—and falling for the one she knows she shouldn’t want.

Everleigh

Transferring to UC Santa Mira is supposed to be my ultimate college experience—until housing falls through at the last minute. So when I overhear a group of guys complaining they need another roommate, I jump at the opportunity.

They’re just football players. Even if one of them makes me weak in the knees, it doesn’t mean anything unless I let it. And I won’t.

We want different things. Wanting each other doesn’t change that.

Nico

It’s my senior year and final season with the Santa Mira Dolphins. The last thing I need is a distraction, but that’s exactly what this girl is. Ever is too leggy, too gorgeous, too thoughtful—and a whole lot of too much that gets under my skin.

I guess I get under hers too. I can’t help myself.

We live together. That alone makes it a bad idea…but I never could resist a little trouble.

•••••

REVIEW:END GAME is the first instalment in Monica Murphy’s contemporary, new adult KINGS OF CAMPUS football romance series. This is twenty-two year old Nico Valente, and twenty-one year old Everleigh Olmstead’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Nico and Everleigh) END GAME covering a few weeks in the lives, follows the building romance and relationship between Nico and Everleigh. Everleigh Olmstead has transferred to UC Santa Mira but in a matter of hours, our heroine is homeless, jobless, a victim of theft, with no place to go. Overhearing a conversation between roommates and college students, Everleigh finds herself the newest member of the household, a household full of football stars (Nico, Frank, Cooper), and the envy of every girl on campus but all is not as it appears to be when jealousy, envy, issues of trust, the requisite mean girl aim to take our heroine down. Nico finds himself pulled into the aura that is Everleigh Olmstead but Nico is not the only roommate to set his sights on our story line heroine.

The world building focuses on the friendships between roommates and teammates, issues of trust, jealousy, and a reputation as a player for our story line hero.

The relationship between Nico and Everleigh is one of immediate attraction but Everleigh believes Nico is out of her league; unworthy of a football star’s attention, and just another proverbial notch in a long line of women. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

We are introduced to several members of the UC Santa Mira Dolphin’s foot ball team: Frank Dollar, Cooper, quarterback Gavin, Cooper’s sister Sienna, and Nico’s former fling Portia. There is something developing between Sienna and Gavin.

END GAME is a story of friendships, relationships, family and love. The premise is captivating but there is limited conflict; anti climactic and the mean girl story line quickly disappears-. The romance is seductive; the characters are determined and charismatic.

REVIEW:CRAVED BY YOU by J. Kenner is a contemporary, adult, romantic suspense instalment in the author’s STARK SECURITY series,-a spin off set in the author’s interconnected STARK worlds, and a part of the 1001 Dark Nights multi-authored series. This is Maxim Wilder and Stark Security Agent Cami Green’s story line. CRAVED BY YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from first person (Cami) and omniscient third person (Maxim) CRAVED BY YOU follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Maxim and Cami were childhood best friends-Cami came from an abusive and broken home, Maxim’s father disappeared early in his life. A perceived betrayal pushed Maxim out of Cami’s life, each of them entering into the world of international espionage and security. Fast forward to present day, Cami’s latest assignment with Stark Security finds her facing off against the man who broke her heart, a man who is now working for the other side but Cami’s assignment spirals out of control when she finds herself the prisoner of our story line hero, a prisoner who discovers not all is as it appears to be. What ensues is the quick rebuilding relationship between Cami and Maxim, and the potential fall-out as a madman is determined to destroy the world.

The world building focuses on the past and the present; betrayal and vengeance for sins of the past; and dysfunctional family dynamics that threaten to take down our story line couple.

The relationship between Cami and Maxim is one of second chances. Childhood friends whose lives imploded by secrets and lies, secrets that reveal betrayal by someone they knew. Determined to destroy the woman he once loved, research will reveal the truth about what happened and why. The $ex scenes are limited but intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are limited. We are introduced to madman Killion Lambert, as well as the return of Braxton and Samantha (Entwined With You 8), and Ryan Hunter (Stark International Series).

CRAVED BY YOU is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is intriguing and suspenseful but the conflict resolution and any fallout is limited and off page-I also guessed the twist; the romance is hot and heavy; the characters are desperate and dynamic.

For years, there was only him. The boy I’d loved with his shining blue eyes and a laugh that could brighten the darkest of days.
We were one, he and I. Two halves of a whole.
That’s what he’d always said.
That’s what I’d always believed.
Together, our childhood days had been marked with laughter and sunshine. Our teenage nights with heat and hunger, the days with plans and promises, caresses and kisses.
We’d shared our dreams. Our hopes. Our bodies.
We discovered passion in each other’s arms. There was trust. There was love.
And there was betrayal.
That’s when my world tilted without warning. He was gone, with only a scribbled note as proof he’d existed at all. His absence like a wound upon my soul.
I thought I’d never see him again. The boy who’d once been mine. The man who’d disappeared, taking my broken heart with him.
But now he’s back, swathed in a cloud of danger and betrayal, tied up in a conspiracy that could destroy everything I hold dear. Cold where once he was warm. Hard where once he was soft.
Deceitful. Dangerous.
Desirable.
I want to hate him. I want to hurt him as he hurt me. And yet the bond we shared still tugs at my soul, and all I can do is hope that I have the strength to hold fast to my mission. To fight the man he has become…and not lose myself in the memories of the man I wish he was.

JK has been praised by Publishers Weekly as an author with a “flair for dialogue and eccentric characterizations” and by RT Bookclub for having “cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swoon for them.” A five time finalist for Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA award, JK took home the first RITA trophy awarded in the category of erotic romance in 2014 for her novel, Claim Me (book 2 of her Stark Trilogy). Her Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series (as Julie Kenner) is currently in development with AwesomenessTV/Awestruck.

She currently lives in Central Texas, with her husband, two daughters, and two rather spastic cats.
