Dani René – Ace of Harts
Fantastic story arc! Emily Reid is torn between two hot brothers: Triston and Bash. They have a sorted past that makes them untrusting of one another. It is this history that makes the story much more interesting and unpredictable. The brothers’ mutual attraction for Emily Reid makes all those negative feelings toward each other resurface. It doesn’t bring out the best in either of them, but it definitely heightens the sexual passion.
Emily is caught between them and not knowing what is true or possible between herself and either of the men. It’s not just their eye color that differentiates them in Emily’s head. Their actions push her from one man to the other.
Finally, a book that doesn’t jump into the world of BDSM like jumping off a cliff into unknown waters. There’s a more gradual approach like slowly wading into a lavishly ensconced swimming pool.
In the end, Emily chooses the one that can fill her completely: mind and soul.

JC Valentine – S.O.B.
The Chicago Fire is a hot soccer team, but the real heat in this book is between Levi and Vista.
If a parent tries take away a child’s candy, the child is more than likely going want to have it even more. That was certainly the case for Levi. His father insisted that he not date Vista. He can fight the thoughts of her during the day, but is plagued with dreams of being with her at night.
Vista can work as much as she wants but there’s no way to get Levi out of her head when, “He looks rough. Dirty. Mountable.”
The sexual tension between Levi and Vista is palpable. I almost hesitate to use that word only because it is often over used in romance reviews. However, the mounting connection between them is practically tangible.
After getting caught succumbing to their attraction, they are ripped apart again. But even after being reunited again, they end up being separated yet another time. Their relationship is a bit of a roller coaster. Considering their young age, it seems more believable than overly dramatic.
My absolutely favorite part was Levi’s proclamation of love on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
“You were right, princess. It’s you and me. So don’t lock that door just yet. Make sure you leave a light on.”
J.C. Valentine is the USA Today and International bestselling author of the Night Calls and Wayward Fighters Series and the Forbidden Trilogy. Her vivid imagination and love of words and romance had her penning her own romance stories from an early age, which, despite being poorly edited and written longhand, she forced friends and family members to read. No, she isn’t sorry.
J.C. earned her own happily ever after when she married her high school sweetheart. Living in the Northwest, they have three amazing children and far too many pets and spend much of their free time together enjoying movies or the outdoors. Among the many hats she wears, J.C. is an entrepreneur. Having graduated with honors, she holds a Bachelor’s in English and when she isn’t writing, you can find her editing for fellow authors.

Tiffany Reisz – The Queen
Sadly, this is the final book in this amazing series. When I first got my hands on this book, I struggled with tearing into the book immediately and waiting to start and putting off the inevitable end. Well, I couldn’t hold off long because I’m impatient and love my HEAs.
Tiffany Reisz is brilliant! The characters are uniquely fabulous and extraordinarily well-developed. She explains and justifies the rational behind each character in such a way that even though they may be completely unrelatable, the reader can understand them and appreciate their personalities.
This particular book in the series was fantastic. It was great to see how Eleanor became Mistress Nora, the queen Dominatrix. As the story in this series is told in time-jumping manner, it was like the author was saving the best for last. The complimentary story line with Soren was sensational, too. The connection between Nora and Soren in both good times and bad is the crux of this alluring love story. I also loved how Nora considered how her life could have been different had she travelled a different path.
There are a number of overlapping threesomes in this series. The concept of jealousy is embedded, ignored, and discarded in a thoughtful way. The path all the characters take to address the jealousy issue is great. Ultimately, as Juliette says, “Jealousy is a sign of insecurity.” The fact that characters come to a level of acceptance is a testament to how emotionally and well-adjusted the characters are.
As always, Kingsley’s quick tongue is ever amusing. After Soren notes that the bishop will permit Eleanor to return to church, Kingsley states, “How magnanimous . . . A priest and a bishop got together, had tea and decided you were worthy enough to attend their worthless relic of a church on Sundays. You must be so honored they’re going to let you back into the Dirty Old Men Who like to Fuck Little Boys and Tell Grown Women What to Do with Their Bodies Club.”
With lines like, “You call it choking. He’d call it foreplay,” the sinful sex cannot be unrecognized. Just when I thought I couldn’t be shocked by Soren – I was stunned. That’s saying a lot, after having read this entire series from beginning to end.
There’s no doubt I’ll be re-reading this series.

Meredith Wild – Hard Love (The Hacker Series #5)
This wild interwoven story finally comes to a conclusion. While I’m usually very sad when a series comes to an end, I felt like all the story lines wrapped up appropriately. Not everybody gets a happy ending but everyone gets their just desserts.
Erica attempts a little role reversal with Blake, which is hot and comical all at the same time. All’s well that ends simultaneously. (perhaps I took a little leeway with that quote) 😉
Blake finally has to face up to his bending of laws, which is great realization for him.

S.O.B. by JC Valentine Release Day Blitz
Synopsis:
Levi Black is an s.o.b.
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he’s a pretentious, obnoxious, womanizing jacka** who thinks the world revolves around him.
He wouldn’t be wrong.
A famous soccer player, his skills on and off the field have won him medals, trophies, women, and the cover of every heartthrob magazine in the country. He’s broken nearly every bone in his body and a few hearts along the way, including mine—his stepsister—and lived to tell about it.
One night changed everything, and I’ve avoided him like the plague ever since. Just long enough to finish college, to bury the hurt, and to outrun the memories. But now that’s all changed. I’m back, and there’s no more running.
My hands are supposed to be my livelihood, but now they’re my curse. Levi’s reckless ways have landed him in a sticky situation, and his father has given me an offer I can’t refuse. One month, and all I have to do is put my hands on his body. Easier said than done. The problem is, even though I know it’s bound to bite me in the a**, I can’t bring myself to say no to the s.o.b.

Chocolate Loaded Cake (gluten free)
I aim to please when making birthday cakes for family and friends. This cake is dedicated to my daughter that believes chocolate cake lacks enough chocolate.
The bottom layer is a flourless chocolate cake. The middle layer is chocolate mouse. And the outside is chocolate ganache. This cake is absolutely not lacking chocolate!

- 1/3 sugar
- 1 stick butter (cut up into pieces)
- 12 oz semisweet chocolate
- 6 eggs
- 1/3 c coffee
- 2 Tbls dark rum
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Preheat oven 325
- Butter 8 in round cake pan and line with aluminum foil
- In medium saucepan heat water and sugar over medium heat until simmer. Add butter and heat until melted
- Remove from heat and add chocolate. Make sure chocolate is submerged. Let stand for one minute. Whisk until smooth
- In mixer with whisk attachment, beat eggs, coffee, rum and cinnamon until well incorporated
- Slowly add chocolate and whisk until well combined.
- Pour into prepared pan
- Create a water bath for cake pan. Put cake pan in a larger pan and add enough water to larger pan to reach halfway up side of cake pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until slightly firm to the touch
- Place in refrigerator until cold and ready to proceed with chocolate mouse
- To remove from pan, run a knife along edge. Place pan on hot stove for 7 seconds. Invert cake and remove foil.
Chocolate Mouse
- 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (Do not use chocolate chips)
- 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar
- Chill a bowl and whisk in the freezer for a few hours.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler until smooth.
- In the chilled bowl, whip the cream and sugar until it holds its shape.
- Fold half of the cream into the chocolate until incorporated.
- Fold the chocolate and cream mixture into the remaining whipped cream, incorporating thoroughly.
- Spread on top of flourless chocolate cake.
- Freeze for about 15 minutes and shape the mouse on top of cake – repeat again if necessary
- Freeze for about 1 hour so that the mouse will hold its shape before ganache is poured on top
Chocolate Ganache
- 16 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, chopped (use good quality chocolate – it is the essence of the flavor)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Place chocolate in a bowl.
- Heat cream over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to simmer.
- Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir until well-incorporated. It should be thick enough that it doesn’t just run down the sides. Allow to cool a little if not thick enough
- Pour warm ganache over the cake
- Put in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Reshape the ganache coating so all the sides and top are smooth.
Keep cake in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
HAPPY BAKING!
Jaci Burton – Taking a Shot
Baseball season’s over and it’s time for a little hockey. I realize that this is the second Jaci Burton post that I’ve done in one week. There’s certain authors that are so good that you miss the stories and characters after you finish reading. Jaci Burton creates sexy as hell professional athletes. Her books are not only a must read, but fall into the category of great re-reads.
Jenna and Ty never quite seem to make it to an actual bedroom. They’re quite creative and are willing to hook up no matter where they are located.
Ty isn’t just some good looking athlete. He’s an incredibly perceptive man and boyfriend. He understands Jenna more than she realizes and is determined to help her achieve her dreams.
Jenna is a loyal girl with a few hidden talents and some very provocative tattoos and piercings.
Unlike most stories where the man makes the big mistakes, Jenna is the one that needs to eat crow and do her best groveling. Ty’s response is perfect.
