And now over to Toni...












Opposites do more than just attract in Toni Aleo’s latest Nashville Assassins novel about a very bad boy and the good girl he can’t resist.



The instant Piper Allen sees Erik Titov, she wants him—wants his rock-hard body, sure, but the strength and mystery that lies behind that superstar hockey jock demeanor, too. So when he sidles up to her at a bar and slinks his arm around her waist, she’s lost. What follows is the wildest night of her life . . . followed by inevitable heartbreak the next morning. And then, a few weeks later, a very big surprise: two blue lines on a pregnancy test.



Only a check to the head could make Erik fall for a nice girl like Piper. But since their crazy-sexy night together, he’s been trying to forget about her alluring body by falling into bed with every woman in Nashville, and it’s not working. So when Piper shows up at his house with a baby-bomb to drop, it doesn’t take much for Erik to suggest the nuclear option: marriage. While it’s supposed to be all for show, the second they say “I do,” the ice between them starts to melt into sizzling steam.



Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Taking Shots, Trying to Score, and Empty Net.

ARC Review
Published: November 25, 2013, Entangled: Brazen

My rating: 4 of 5 ⭐️







As an outlet for a recent loss and old demons toying with his peace of mind, Madewood heir and chef Neil Harrison blows off steam on his bike. When women and sex don't do the trick anymore, he turns to illegal street racing. Something he has been able to keep to himself, until Carson shows up at one of his races. 

Architect Carson Kelly is employed by Neil, building the Madewood Farm, a fine dining and event establishment on a gorgeous ten-acre property. Despite the obvious attraction, her relationship with Neil has always been rather confrontational. She has to be tough to prove herself in a male dominated world, especially after making some pretty devastating mistakes when she was younger. Her father, and owner of Kelly Designs, never let her forget.

Life can be a bitch but love can get you through any storm.

Madison Cole’s family is the Storm Motorcycle Club. Her father is the President and her brother is the VP. She grew up surrounded by bikers, crime and violence. Two years ago she walked away from her family and the world they live in. Her soul was shattered, her heart was broken and she had an addiction she couldn't shake. She picked up the pieces and put herself back together. Now her family wants her back. The club is being threatened and they send a club member to return her home to safety; the one person that could destroy everything she has worked so hard to build.

Jason Reilly has sacrificed a lot for the motorcycle club he calls family. Two years ago he made the biggest sacrifice of all; he gave up the woman he loved for them. Now he is being sent to bring her back and he is conflicted. He thought he was over her but discovers their connection is as strong as ever. Their love was all-consuming, passionate and fiery. It was also their undoing and he doesn't know if either of them is strong enough to battle the demons that ripped them apart, to find love again. 

Madison and Jason are brought back together by a force out of their control; one that pushes them to a breaking point. Can they overcome their past and discover a love worth fighting for or will the harsh reality of their world finally and completely break them both?

It's been two years since Madison Cole walked away from everything she knew, and created a brand new life for herself. No more addiction, no more bikers, no more family, no more Storm Motorcycle Club and no more broken heart. Just a good group of friends, a great job and an awesome roommate. That is, until she gets word that the MC is under threat and the family is afraid for her safety. Despite her protests, they insist on sending someone to collect her. When it is J who walks in the door, Madison's heart almost falls apart again.

Jason Reilly, or J, knew this wasn't going to be easy. The way he left things with Madison two years ago guaranteed as much. He was given no choice at the time, but Madison didn't know that. She also had no clue that despite his efforts, he had never been able to get over her. J was as affected by her as he ever was. Now he needs to try and convince her of the danger she is in is real, so she will return home with him. Hearing the young daughter of a friend of hers may need her, is enough to get her on the back of his bike and having her arms wrapped around him again feels damn good!..........continued

I grabbed my purse and headed outside to go and buy lunch.  J was on the phone, but saw me come outside and signalled for me to wait.“I’m going to buy lunch, J.  And I only get an hour so I don’t have time to wait for you,” I said, tersely.  He kept talking and scowled at me.  I turned and started to walk away from him, towards the cafe where I always bought lunch.I could hear him muttering something into the phone and then he must have ended his call because he went silent.  Then, he barked, “Madison!”The last thing I wanted to do was stop for him, but there was something in his tone; a ‘don’t fuck with me’ command.  So I stopped, and turned around to look at him.  Oh, my.  He was shitty. He stalked to where I was and got in my face.  “Why the fuck do you have to be so difficult about this?” He was fuming.Well, I could see him, and raise him in his anger.  “Maybe it has something to do with the way Scott has gone about this.  And the fact that he sent you!”He flinched.  It was only for a second, and most people wouldn’t have even noticed it.  But I knew J, and I saw it.  It surprised the fuck out of me.  “Well then, it looks like we’ve got some shit to sort out, babe, because I’m not going anywhere.”“I don’t want to sort shit out with you.  That ship sailed two fucking years ago, J,” I spat.He gripped my arm, pulling me closer, “No, it fucking didn’t,” he growled, eyes blazing, “And you can’t deny there’s still something here.  I feel it and I know you feel it too.”I laughed.  No, actually, I cackled.  “You wanna fuck, J?  I can feel that, and, yeah, if you wanna go there, I’m all for it.  But don’t mistake my desire for your cock for anything else.”












Nina Levine is an Aussie writer who writes stories about hot, alpha men and the tough, independent women they love. You won't find any whiny, spineless women in Nina's books and you certainly won't find weak men. 

A warning though, you will find hot, dirty sex, lots of swearing, occasional violent encounters and men and women who live fast and love hard.

Nina's debut book Storm will be releasing in November 2013. It is based around the Storm Motorcycle Club and is the first book in an MC series.

SEARCHING FOR SOMEDAY by Jennifer Probst

SEARCHING FOR SOMEDAY 
by Jennifer Probst
ARC Review
Published: November 24, 2013, Simon and Schuster

My rating: 4 of 5 ⭐️








The smartest thing Kate has ever done, was go into the matchmaking business with her two college friends. They each have their unique qualities to bring to the table and since Kate's extra-sensory 'gift' when it comes to romantic connections, seems to work on everyone but her, at least she can put it to good use. The business is a success.....her love life not so much......or rather, not. As in it doesn't exist and Kate is done looking. 

When Slade finds out his sister, who hasn't had the best of luck with men, has signed up with a dating service, every protective instinct screams to life. As a divorce lawyer and from his own life experiences, Slade has lost all faith in a happily ever after, and he certainly had no faith in those money sucking matchmaking scams that called themselves businesses. He was not about to have them take advantage of his sister!

When Slade walks into the Kinnection offices and confronts Kate, accusing her of running a scam, he is surprised at her calm business-like demeanor. He can see there are moments he is able to rattle her, but she doesn't seem to be afraid of his legal threats, in fact, Kate accepts his challenge to find him 'love', when she knows full-well he is a non-believer. 

It doesn't take long for Kate to wonder what she has gotten herself into. The annoyingly arrogant and extremely sexy Slade is starting to get under her skin with all his little come-ons and innuendo. She can't tell if he is toying with her or not. But one thing she knows for sure, there is no way she can let him touch her. She is afraid sparks may finally start flying for her...... 

Slade generally gets what he wants, and for right now, his focus has fallen on Kate, so he is not easily put off.  But when it becomes clear that Kate thinks, feels and dreams further than just 'right now',  it becomes time for Slade to reassess.....

*****

A wonderful spirited and witty romance with a hint of magic!!! 

A fresh light read by Jennifer Probst, pairing a hopeful romantic with a selfrighteous cynic. Or should I say 'pitting against', instead of 'pairing with'.....since the two go a fair number of rounds in this story, each doing their best to prove the other wrong.

Kate is a bit of a hopeless closet romantic. She has safeguarded a lot of herself, preserving it for the 'right one', just to be shot down again and again. Her 'gift' so far has only worked for others and never for herself. At twenty-six, she is ready and open to love in her life, but doesn't trust it is there. After all she grew up with a mother who, after loving and losing a husband, spent the rest of her years sexually 'healing and educating' a large portion of the male population, perpetually stuck in her role as flower child of the sixties. 

Slade had one extremely sour experience and that tainted his outlook, not to mention every divorce case that has passed over his desk since. He sees every one of them as justification for his stance on marriage and long term commitment. Even wanting Kate the way he does, with the urgency he does, he still can't see anything beyond the here and now. He will learn soon enough that control is an illusion and avoiding happiness for the sake of control is a ridiculous proposition. 

I love the atmosphere of the book, the way the three friends, all so different in make up and character, meld so well and make for an interesting blend that promises more delicious books in the future!  I can't wait to see the savvy and sleek Kennedy or the earthy and insightful Arilyn hooked up with matches of their own. 

But my favorite character of all is Robert, who shows impeccable judgement of character, a great appetite for life and an unconditional ability for love!!

✨A spunky, imaginative and sexy tale of an improbable match.✨
