The House of Crimson and Clover

The Sullivans, a family of hard-working Irish lawyers, came from nothing and built a life they can be proud of. The Deschanels amassed incredible wealth by siding with the North during the Civil War, betraying their people. Both New Orleans families have a dark and rich history, painted with secrets, treachery, and colorful, supernatural abilities.
The House of Crimson and Clover unravels the mysteries surrounding both families, pulling us further into their tangled, enigmatic lives.
While the series is meant to be treated as one long narrative, each book can stand alone and be enjoyed without having read the other books. I’ve created pages for each of the books in the series, with story descriptions and other info.

Here All Along by Lilly Avalon ~ Book Excerpt!!





Title: Here All Along

Author: Lilly Avalon

Release Date: February 14, 2014

Genre: New Adult, Romance

Tour: Irresistible Reads Book Tours


*Here All Along is an 8000 word new adult erotica*


 
Book Description:

  Every time Hazel Bell goes on a date, she returns home unhappy and disenchanted about love. At least her best friend Adrian Williams is always there for her, even more so now that they're roommates. After both of them have a bad night out, they decide to just relax and forget the world for awhile. It's been a long time since they've been alone together. They certainly weren't counting on the close quarters bringing out hidden desires. Now it appears their platonic friendship is being put to the test—one that neither can resist. By the end of the night, will it be the end for Hazel and Adrian—or a new beginning?






Book Excerpt

Did you want to change into something more comfortable?” Adrian asks with a raise in his eyebrows, breaking me out of my train of thought, but not away from naughty thoughts.
I smack his knee. “I'm comfortable, but I know you're not.” He doesn't mind dressing up, but on most days I see him in casual clothes like screen-printed tees and hoodies.
You're right,” he says, his hand tapping my knee lightly, standing up. As he walks toward the hallway, he slips his shirt off the rest of the way. My eyes can't look away from the sight, even if it is only from the back. Damn. What is happening to me? Have I gone mad?
Before I can tear my eyes away from him, he turns around. Judging by the look in his eyes, I've been caught. I have so been caught. Damn again. I didn't want him to see me practically drooling. It's too late for that now.
He smirks. “You know, I could spend the rest of the night just like this.” He places a hand to the hard muscles of his chest.
I clear my throat, trying really hard not to imagine my hand in place of his, and say, “If I'm wearing clothes, you're wearing clothes.”
So if I'm not wearing clothes...” I grab a coaster from the coffee table and fling it at him. He catches it in his hand. “Just remember, all you have to do is say otherwise.”

Ditched by Amity Hope ~ Book Blitz!! (Excerpt + GIVEAWAY!)





Author: Amity Hope

Title: Ditched by Amity Hope

Genre: YA/Contemporary
Release Date: April 13th, 2013


~*~*~ Young Adult Romance ~*~*~


The Book:

 Holly has her whole life mapped out. It’s simple, really. She just needs to finish her degree in journalism, marry Collin—her high school sweetheart—and live happily ever after.
Max has had a crush on his friend Holly since he moved to town four years ago. He’s been dreading her wedding since she first sent him a text telling him the news. He’s dreading it so much, in fact, that he’s decided to move back to his hometown in California immediately following the ceremony.
He never thought that a change of plan would include taking Holly with him, showing her that sometimes the happily ever after you really want, is the one you never knew you were looking for.




 
EXCERPT:

I took a step forward, finding myself wrapped in Max’s arms, snuggled into his chest. My heart was still pounding. I gladly let him keep his arms around me for awhile. Surely, the only reason for that was because I was trying to calm myself down. Not because I suddenly realized that Max smelled really good. As in, scrumptiously good.

Either he had changed his cologne or I’d never bothered to notice before. He smelled like an ocean breeze. Or at least, what an ocean breeze would smell like if it came fresh and clean out of a bottle. How had I never noticed that before?

I couldn’t help but wonder what else about Max I’d been missing.




About the Author:

Siren's Sweet and Sexy Valentines Day Tour: The Makeover + Yours For Now ~ Excerpts!






Title: Siren’s Sweet and Sexy Valentine’s Day Tour: The Makeover + Yours For Now



Author: Siren Allen






 
Book Description – The Makeover
 
Revenge is a dish best served cold… while wearing heels.
 April has just learned the real reason behind her boss’ impromptu dinner invitation. He only invited her to dinner with his colleagues to prove a point: that he can show up at an event with a plain Jane and still be considered ‘the man’. She expected better from him and had secretly hoped that one day their friendship would grow into something deeper. But her two best friends won’t let her wallow in her pain. They convince her to give Dr. Stewart a dose of his own medicine. The plan: show up at the dinner looking irresistible and prove to her boss that even nerd girls can be sexy. But first she has to replace her unattractive business suits with something sexier and more revealing. It’s time for a makeover.
 Dr. Chad Stewart would never ‘really’ date his secretary. She was too good, to pure for someone as jaded as himself. It didn’t matter that he was half in love with her. But when he needed an ‘average date’ for a dinner party she was the first person he turned to. He thought his secretary was the perfect choice until he arrived to find her looking like his wildest fantasy. But now she knows the real reason for his invite and he can see in her eyes how hurt she is.
 Can Chad convince her to forgive him for hurting her or will she walk out of his life… taking his heart with her?

Can Preston convince Elizabeth that her heart is safe with him – or will two weeks be all he has?


Book Excerpt – The Makeover

What are you doing?” she asked him.
Chad wrapped his arms around her body and pulled her closer to him, something he’d wanted to do for months.
I’m trying to get you to listen to me,” he told her.
I could hear you loud and clear from my own seat. Chad, you’re embarrassing me.”
You called me Chad, you never do that. I like the way you say my name.”
He adored the blush that crept up her neck.  It felt good having her in his lap. He should have done this a long time ago.
Please put me down. People are staring,” she whispered.
If you take a walk outside with me I will put you down. I promise.”
Just go with him,” an elderly gentleman from the table across from them yelled.
April covered her face up with her hands. “This is so embarrassing,” she mumbled.
He seems sorry,” another lady whispered from two tables over, “I say give him a second chance.”
You hear that,” Chad whispered in her ear. The sweet scent of her perfume turned him on. The feel of her in his lap felt right…like this was where she was meant to be…in his arms.
No, I will not,” she whispered. “I don’t want to be alone with you. I wouldn’t even be here if I hadn’t promised you that I would come. If you keep embarrassing me I am going to call a cab and go home, where I belong.”
You don’t belong at home April. You belong with me.”
Oh really Dr. Stewart, aren’t I a little too plain for your taste. Put me down.”
He heard the catch in her voice. She was trying not to cry and it was his fault. This whole mess was his fault.
 “Let me talk to you outside April. I can explain myself better if we are alone. I never meant to do anything to hurt you. Come talk to me, let me make this right.” For a moment he thought she was going to agree, but her words dashed his hopes.
There is nothing you can do or say to make me change my mind Chad. I don’t want to talk to you alone.”
He’d had enough of this. Chad stood up with her still in his arms. She was going to talk to him. If she didn’t forgive him afterwards that was fine, but he would have his time alone with her.
Put me down. Have you lost your mind?”
No, but I have lost your respect. I want it back.” Chad strode away from the table with April in his arms. Patrons of the restaurant began to clap as they left the room. Chad didn’t look at his colleagues, but he knew they were probably shaking their heads in shock at him. He didn’t care. He’d hurt the woman he loved. Yes loved, it was about time he admitted how deep his feelings ran for his petite secretary. He’d hurt her and he needed to make things right.
Why are these idiots clapping,” April squirmed in his arms. “Do they not realize that I am being abducted?”
He laughed. “I am not abducting you. I just need a moment alone with you.”
Chad escorted her to the small garden located at the back of the restaurant and sat her down on her feet.
What do you want to say?” April asked him with her hands folded over her chest.
 She looked so cute when she was mad. He wanted to kiss her, but he knew that would get him slapped.
I just want to say I’m sorry.”
Her lips quivered and his heart broke. Damn it, he’d hurt the only girl that mattered.

Hope Restrained by M.S. Willis ~ Review!



Her name is Hope Delacroix, and when she entered the walls of The Estate stronghold, she wasn't going in as a slave...

She was going in as a warrior.



Title: Hope Restrained
Author: M.S. Willis
Genre: Dark/Adult/Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 30, 2014


My Review: 



First, let me start off by saying that I am a huge fan of this series and M.S. Willis. I've had the pleasure of reading the previous two books in the series, Joseph Fallen and Madeleine, Abducted, and loved them both. So naturally, when I was given the opportunity to review an ARC of Hope Restrained I was like, YES!

I may have even celebrated a little...
 
 http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/dorky.gif


I mean, lets, face it. This series is great! I was especially excited for this book because Xander has been my favorite character since the beginning and this book is all about him.

Ok so first things first. You're first impression of a book is it's cover and this book gives an excellent first impression. The color scheme and mysterious hottie make it almost impossible to turn away.

 If a cover is the first impression, then surely the synopsis is the second , check out the synopsis for Hope Restrained...

She was meant to be his assassin
A forced player in a rivalry within The Estate
Yet her loyalty was to no person but herself
When Hope is taken captive by Xander Black
She becomes the one thing that can ensure Aaron’s reign

Raised within a rival crime network, Hope Delacroix wanted nothing to do with The Estate. A fierce warrior, Hope is given no choice but to kill Aaron Carmichael. Caught in her attempt, Hope is captured by Aaron’s top guard in an effort to discover who sent her.

Ever loyal and protective, Xander Black’s sole objective is to defend Aaron and Maddy. Willing to do whatever is necessary, Xander gives in to darkness in order to force information out of Hope.

As Xander enslaves Hope to break her down completely, he learns that in the two years since Joseph Carmichael’s death, dissension still exists within The Estate.

“I find it ironic that your name is Hope…especially considering that you have none.” ~ Xander Black

... I know, right!

 http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/chloe.gif


 Then I read the prologue. If you've ever read an M.S. Willis book then you already know that she is the queen of prologues and Hope Restrained is no exception. There is no way you can read one of her prologues and not want to read the rest of the book. It's impossible.

This was my reaction...

http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/amaze.gif

And guess what? This book was so crazy good! After reading the first two, I wasn't sure what to expect from Hope Restrained. I certainly didn't expect what I got. While I would agree that Hope Restrained isn't as dark as the first two in the series, it is every bit as good of a book. Maybe even better. The dynamic duo that is Xander and Hope kept me reading long after my bedtime.

 http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/exhausted.gif

 Xander is one of my favorite characters from this series and it was so great to get to read more of him. His attraction to Hope is pretty instantaneous but can you blame the guy? 
"He stepped back, completely knocked off balance by the seeping desire within his mind and body. She was his enemy, a woman who'd attempted to kill the only people he cared about - but, she was unlike any woman he'd ever come across. His curiosity was peaked and his pants tightened despite his hatred towards her.
And Hope......
She's one badass bitch!

"Unchain me and fight me for it. You win - I tell you what you want to know before you kill me. I win - I kill you."

No matter how much Xander tried to resist her, he just couldn't.

"Hope was like a wild animal, one so majestic and rare, that to possess her was a testament to the owner's power."

However, the feeling was not mutual.

"I cannot fucking wait to rip your smug head from your body."

Ok, enough quotes. Let me tell you about the story.

Hope Delacroix was raised in a rival crime network. When her twin sister, Honor, goes missing, she makes it her mission to find her. No matter the cost. Honor is everything good in the world to Hope. She is light, and love, and innocence where Hope is nothing but dark. 
Hope is approached by a man from the Estate who makes her a deal she can't refuse. But one that gets her swept up in a nightmare that she cannot escape from. It's worse than a nightmare. It's pure hell. 
This book can be summed up from this quote I found at 70%

"It was repulsive and addicting at the same time"

 http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Brenda-Meeks-Scared-Popcorn-Gif-In-Scary-Movie.gif


I know I said that this book wasn't as dark as the first two in the series but trust me, it is still plenty dark. Some pretty horrific shit goes down here.

Then, at around 75%, the unexpected happened. M.S. Willis ripped my heart out. Ok, so I sort of expected it, but still ..... I sobbed. Seriously, it got ugly.


http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/crying.gif


In the end I was left a little confused. I'm still not sure if I know who all the bad guys were. Which makes me very excited for the next book.

Hope Restrained is a must read for all fans of Xander Black and The Estate. This series just keeps getting better! If you're debating whether to read this book or not, READ IT because M.S. Willis nailed it!
