About ADORING INKThe Montgomery Ink series continues with the most unlikely of romances between the one that got away and the man who can show her the world.


Holly Rose fell in love with a Montgomery, but left him when he couldn’t love her back. She might have been the one to break the ties and ensure her ex’s happy ending, but now Holly’s afraid she’s missed out on more than a chance at forever. Though she’s always been the dependable good girl, she’s ready to take a leap of faith and embark on the journey of a lifetime.

Brody Deacon loves ink, women, fast cars, and living life like there’s no tomorrow. The thing is, he doesn’t know if he has a tomorrow at all. When he sees Holly, he’s not only intrigued, he also hears the warnings of danger in his head. She’s too sweet, too innocent, and way too special for him. But when Holly asks him to help her grab the bull by the horns, he can’t help but go all in.

As they explore Holly’s bucket list and their own desires, Brody will have to make sure he doesn’t fall too hard and too fast. Sometimes, people think happily ever afters don’t happen for everyone, and Brody will have to face his demons and tell Holly the truth of what it means to truly live life to the fullest…even when they’re both running out of time.

MY REVIEW:

The first time Holly sees Brody Deacon she's in her car singing along to the radio. She doesn't care that she can't sing, she's having a ball until she looks over and see's him. The hot guy on a motorcycle laughing WITH her, not at her. She then realizes that her sun roof is open but he makes her not really care. She laughs it off and goes back to singing because she thinks she's not going to see him again.  Boy was she wrong.

Brody is a good guy who will do anything for his friends. He doesn't realize they see him as a womanizer and that he has secrets that he never shares. When he overhears Holly wanting to do somethings on her bucket list, he volunteers to help.

They both have secrets and they both have emotional scars that they don't let others see. What starts out as checking things off of a bucket list becomes so much more.

As their relationship deepens are the secrets going to be too much for one another? Will they be able to make the other see what they see when they look at them?

Even though this is a novella I didn't feel like I only got part of a story. I totally connected to the characters and fell in love with them. A great addition to the Montgomery Ink series.

Read a Sneak Peek of ADORING INK:

Holly Rose needed to come.
Badly.
And hopefully she would. The man above her moved with such heat that she knew she was blushing, but she didn’t care. She just needed him to work his magic so she could finally crest that peak and end up a boneless pile of limbs.
She clutched at his tattooed shoulders before sliding her hands down his chest, raking her nails over his thick muscles and the ink that covered his skin. He thrust deeply inside her, and she arched her back, taking more of him in.
Her breath came in pants, and her body shook, sweat-slick from hours of lovemaking with no pause.
Then she looked up and froze.
Once again, her Dream Man was just a blur. A thickly muscled male with ink but no face, no features showing her who he was. No eyes giving her a glimpse of the man deep inside.
She reached out to cup his face, hoping she was wrong.
But she wasn’t.
The alarm pulled her out of sleep in that instant, leaving her right on the edge once again, and confused as hell about the recurring dream that never made sense.
Holly let out a sigh and rolled over to press the button on her phone. Unfortunately, she didn’t have time to hit snooze and go back to sleep, so she forced herself to sit up. Hitting snooze was one of her favorite pastimes since she had the most comfortable bed ever, but she had to be an adult and forego that. She was the kind of person that, once she sat up, she was awake and slightly functional, but it was the sitting up part that was the hardest. She loved sleeping in but couldn’t do it most days because of her job. Heck, she couldn’t even slumber on weekends most times thanks to the piles of grading she had. She might only teach first grade, but her kids had books and binders full of state-mandated homework and classwork to complete.
Holly’s head hurt just thinking about it.Adoring Ink teaser 3

NEW RELEASE! WICKED IMPULSE by Chelle Bliss ALFA PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS - A MEN OF INKED SPINOFF PLUS MY REVIEW

NEW RELEASE! WICKED IMPULSE by Chelle Bliss 
ALFA PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS - A MEN OF INKED SPINOFF



cover

➡WICKED IMPULSE CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE⬅
Didn't read the previous ALFA P.I. books, but you're dying to read Bear's story? GREAT NEWS... YOU CAN! Wicked Impulse can be read as a standalone.

InkedNovella

BLURB

ALFA Private Investigations is a spin-off of the Men of Inked series, but can be read separately. **Includes a BONUS novella - Men of Inked Christmas**

There's only one thing worse than dating a friend's sister sleeping with his mother.

Fran DeLuca's known for her bossy, overbearing personality almost as much as for her love of nylon tracksuits. But when someone runs off with fifty thousand dollars, she becomes involved in an ALFA investigation and catches the eye of silver fox biker, Bear.

Bear North, ALFA's resident bad boy, has never thought of Fran as anything more than his buddy's mom. When she trades in her elastic pants and orthopedic tennis shoes for a pair of skintight jeans and high heels, he takes notice of the fifty-something MILF.

When the money trail leads closer to Fran than expected, Bear takes charge of the investigation and will do anything to protect her. Can Bear track a thief, claim Fran, and keep Morgan DeLuca in the dark long enough to solve the case?

Wicked Impulse is book 3 in the ALFA PI series and includes a BONUS novella - Men of Inked Christmas.

MY REVIEW: Well hello there Bear with your dirty talking mouth and body made for sin! I love seeing an older man who still has "it" and knows how to use it *wink, wink*.

This book literally had me giggling from the very beginning. Bear and Fran shouldn't have made such an awesome couple but they brought out the best in each other. Fran knew what she wanted and she had no problems getting it. She wasn't one that just sat back and let the chips fall where they may, she made them fall where she wanted them to. She has such a good heart and wants to see everyone happy.

Bear has made a few mistakes in the past, okay, quite a bit more than just a few but he's paid for them and moved on. There's a few things that he deeply regrets and Fran helps him with these. Bear hasn't been in love for years, he's a hit it and quit it kind of guy and always seems to find the crazy ones.

When Bear and Fran get together there's secrets all the way around. Ugh I love these two as a couple, they are what each other needs. This book is super hot, funny as heck, and will make you fall in love with these two!

One by E.S. Carter with my review

One Banner One
Title: One
Series: Love by Numbers #5
Author: ES Carter
Genre: MM Romance
Release Date: December 1
Goodreads
Synopsis
One click.
One perfect frame.
That's all it takes to capture an eternal moment; although most people let them pass by without acknowledgement.
I don't waste any.
Not a single one.
If I see something of beauty, I want to experience it, feel it and immortalise it.
If I see someone of beauty, I want to taste them, worship them and memorise them.
I don't have a type, if I like you, I like you.
I don't have a preference.
My bisexuality is a gift, not a defect.
It's the freedom to see beyond gender.
One blink.
One touch.
One night.
Life is filled with so many ones.
One chance to get things right.
One life to live as you choose.
One decision that gives you acceptance.
One person to fill the emptiness.
Just one?
Nah, like I said, life is full of ones.
My camera lets me focus on the good times; I develop from life's negatives and if things don't work out, I just take another shot.
Who needs just one?

Book #5 in the 'Love by Numbers' series.
Can be read as a standalone.

MY REVIEW:

This author is now a one-click author for me! I don't even have to read the blurb, she writes it and I'll read it. This author draws out all the emotions from me. I laughed, I giggled, I blushed, I cried (Even at the birthday cake with the anchors around the border). You name it and she makes me feel it.

"Acceptance is Serenity. It's happiness, it's understanding, it's faith in yourself and others. It's knowing that you can't change the past, but you can choose your future. Acceptance is love."

That quote says so much! *sigh*

How many times do you do the same thing and get burnt before you walk away for good? 
Would you be willing to give them multiple chances? What if there was just something about them that you just can't say no to, no matter how much you know you're going to get hurt in the process? Do you keep hoping that the outcome is going to be different? How far are you willing to go to make them see what is right in front of them?

"We're like fire and gasoline. He will burn me alive, and I will only fuel the flames."

Oh btw, loved the name of the movie ;) You'll have to read it to find out what I mean.

“This book made me feel like no other.” - Reader Review
“R.B. Hilliard, stand up and take a bow.” - Scandalicious Book Blog
“Where to begin, this book will literally have you in emotional whiplash in the best possible way.” - DDs Book Room
“For a first time i'm blown away and will keep an intensive eye out for future books.” - Reader Review
When they first get together it was actually kind of quick for me. Yeah, they went to school one another and she definitely knew who he was and he knew her BUT they didn't know each other. It was like they had a chance to fall into bed together and they did. BUT the story grew from there and I got to watch these two characters grow. I was reading along and boom! I gasped and was like what just happened? Why would the author do that to me? I was like seriously? NOOOOOOO!!! and I kept reading, got so swept up in the story and then my kindle battery flashed and I was like read FASTER! Then it died and I was like NOOO again! It was 1:30am by that point so I trudged off to bed. First thing the next morning I was grabbing my kindle. There was a lot of gasping and a lot of myself mumbling NO! Don't do it!! and I didn't see that comings! This book, ugh this book! I liked to see what each of them had been doing throughout the book, I was caught up in the story from the get go. Could hardly wait to see what happened next, I could feel her desperation and her pain. The author truly pulled me into the story and I can't wait to get to Piper's book.

If I wrote a song for you, this would be it. Max held out his hand. Dance with me?” I wanted to cry. I didn’t want him to go. I wanted forever. He was sunshine and moonlight, sandy beaches and salty air. He was happy laughter and sexy smiles. He was my best friend, my lover, my heart…He was everything good in this world, and believe me, few things were ever good in my world. I didn’t want to lose him, but would never begrudge him this experience. I took his hand. “We’ve never danced together, have we?” “This is just the first of many, Ellison Davis,” he murmured, pressing his lips to mine. “I like the sound of that,” I said against his mouth. We danced for the remainder of the song and just when I thought it was over, it began again.

Excerpt
“The dress will need to come off,” I tell her with a playful smile—I want her to feel at ease.
She turns to the side and unzips herself, reaches for the skirt of her dress, and pulls it over her head. She’s wearing a sexy pink lace bra and matching thong. I wonder if she slipped those on thinking of me. Or David? I wonder how long it would take me to rip it all off. She peeks at me through her lashes, still shy but aroused. Her gaze finally reaches mine, and it’s pleading, begging me to come to her.
I kneel in front of her. I desperately want to kiss her—she’s just so beautiful. But I know that if I kiss her, I’ll get lost in her and I’ll want to make love to her. She and I together is a very bad plan. Too much history there, and even after all we’ve been through, I can only see her as Paul’s girl. But right now, she’s just a woman who desperately needs to touched, and I’m the man who desperately wants to touch her. I trace the lacy edges of her bra with my finger. She’s breathing so hard her chest is heaving. I pull the fabric with a finger and tuck it under, revealing her breast. Wow. Her nipple is pink, hard, and begging to be licked, but if I go there, I won’t be able to stop myself. I know myself too well.
She closes her eyes again, and I take her in—her soft stomach, her sexy legs. I eagerly make my way down. I stroke her thighs gently again, and she opens her legs for me. She’s arousing me so much it’s painful. I trail my hand between her thighs where she’s wet—the soft fabric, what little there is of it, is soaked.
She throws her head back, her mouth open—she’s gasping for air. Finding her wet like this and wanting to be inside her so badly, is so fucking hard on me. I try to remind myself that this isn’t about me; it’s about her. As bad as I want to do all the things to her I shouldn’t be doing, I know I can’t. I’m on a mission.
I reach for the string of her thong and tug down. I’d planned to be soft with her, but I find myself being hard. She props her rear up and her hands press against the mattress, tangled in the sheets. As I struggle with the fabric, she reaches for it and pulls the thong down with me. It’s clear that she wants it off. In that moment, I forget all about myself. All I want to do is please her and make her come.
I’ve never seen her like this. I steal a moment to savour the sight of her small patch of neatly trimmed hair and tempting pink lips. I’m so hard as I slip my finger along her wetness, slowly teasing her. I explore further, up along her sex to her sweet spot.
“Your body is yours, Amber.” I know her. I know a big chunk of guilt is probably lingering at the back of her mind, and I just want her to let go of that and enjoy the moment. “No one has a hold on it but you. It’s yours. All I want to do is to make you feel good like this. It doesn’t have to be anything more. Do you want this? If you don’t, tell me to stop, and I will.”
She lets out a cry and squirms as I pull my hand away for a second. She doesn’t need to say a single word. It’s crystal clear—she desperately wants me to make her come.
Filthy images play in my mind as I imagine all the things I would love to do to her. I’d love her legs wrapped around my head. I’d drive her wild, taking her to the edge and swiftly pulling back only to wrench her hard against me again. I’d sink into her and get completely lost in her. But I can’t do all those things, as much as I would love to. I can’t take this too far.
I’ve been cruel long enough. I’ve teased her plenty. It’s just so amazing to finally touch her. I reach for her sweet spot and feel her hard clit on the tips of my fingers. She wails and spreads her legs wider. I’ll take her over the edge in a few seconds, but I selfishly want this moment to last forever. Watching her like this—panting, a perfect breast hanging out of her delicate bra, legs spread wide for me—it’s the most gorgeous sight. I pull away from her, greedy as fuck. I want to hear her cry, to hear her beg. She winces as I pull my hand away. She opens her beautiful eyes, silently asking me why I’m being such a tease.
“Close your eyes,” I order, and she does. I don’t want her to see what I’m about to do. I close my eyes as I bring my finger to my nose and inhale her scent. It’s just as I always imagined. Then I draw my wet fingers to my mouth and taste her—so, so sweet.
“Please,” she begs. “Don’t stop.”
It’s just what I need to hear. With just another sweep or two of my fingers along her slick sex, she arches her back off the bed, opens her beautiful eyes to look at me again, and I finally make her come.
Seeing Amber, who is always so contained, so put-together, so perfect, get lost under my touch is unbelievable. The sight of her tiny hands grasping my mattress, her beautiful mouth wide open, the sweet sound of her cries bouncing off my walls—it’s almost too much. I’ve dreamed about this scenario dozens of times, and the real thing is even better than it ever was in my imagination.
