Denver's Calling by JJ Harper Cover Reveal and Excerpt
Excerpt
I’m such a damn coward. I berate myself as I watch the only two men who have my interest tonight. Just grow a pair, Sinclair, and go dance with them. I watch as they move together—they could be the only two men in the room for all I know—they have my total attention as the room fades, leaving only them in my sight.
The song changes and a harder, dirtier beat comes through the speakers. I don’t recognize it, but it’s good. I watch as Kes turns East around so his back is pressed against Kes’ front. East’s hips sway, rubbing his ass over the front of Kes’ jeans. It’s so fucking sexy.
Whether it’s the couple of beers I’ve had, the noise of the music, or the heat coming from the bodies around me, that has me intoxicated but urge permeates me, directing my thoughts to the two young men I walked in with not ninety minutes ago. My feet move of their own volition and I weave between the writhing, sweaty bodies. Kes has his mouth on East’s neck, sucking on the soft skin, the bright, multi-colored lights bouncing off their skin highlights the sensuality of the kiss on his damp flesh.
A moan creeps out of me as I reach them and, again, with no forethought, my hands are on East’s hips as I press my lips up to his. East parts his lips fractionally and the hot tip of his tongue slides over the seam of my lips. Opening to him, my tongue slips tentatively over his. Fuck! The taste of him sends me reeling, my head spinning as I lose myself in him; I can’t get enough.
The kiss intensifies as I press my body harder against his. We sway to the beat, Kes’ hands on my hips as East grips my head, holding me in place. Our tongues dance lazily as we learn each other’s mouths. My eyes open when the hard length of East’s dick presses into me. He nudges me with his hips, eliciting another soft moan from me.
“My turn, I think.” Kes’ gruff voice reaches me and I feel East pull away and twist me around.
Suddenly, I’m the one in the middle; East’s front against my back as I look at Kes. His dark eyes are heavy, his desire apparent as he draws me closer.
“Oh, baby, I’ve been waiting to do this again for so long.” Letting the tip of his tongue slide over his bottom lip, leaving a sheen in the roving lights, Kes whispers as his mouth skims over my already kiss-swollen lips. His tongue glides over my bottom lip before he pulls it between his teeth and tugs gently. Then it’s on! His tongue invades my mouth, dueling with my own, his dominance obvious but so sexy. He sucks on my tongue and I groan hard, my hands wrapping around his shoulders and into his hair.
East’s hands clench around my waist, his fingertips, easing under my t-shirt and caressing my highly sensitive skin, leave what feels like scorch marks in their wake. I need more. I don’t know what it is I need, but this isn’t enough. East pushes his groin into my ass cheeks and I gasp at the feeling, the hotness of his hands, along with his erection, sends all sorts of signals to my befuddled, kiss-drunk brain.
Kes slows his kiss down and ends with delicious nips and nibbles over my lip. “I think we need to get out of here, we’ve become a show.”
I open my eyes and notice the men around us staring, not with disapproval but with desire and envy. I feel East’s warm chuckle against my neck as he plants his mouth on my skin.

The Bunny and the Billionaire by Louisa Masters
📚📚📚My Review📚📚📚
Super cute and fun read! I kept seeing the cover for this book after it was revealed and I clicked every time to see if it was released yet. So when I saw a review option was available I applied and was excited to be given the chance to read! It was sweet and sexy, everything you expect from a romance including a HEA. This is my first book by Louisa but I am looking forward to reading more in the future.
Title: The Bunny and The Billionaire
Author: Louisa Masters
Genre: M/M Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
BUY LINKS:
Hardworking Australian nurse Ben Adams inherits a substantial sum and decides to tour Europe. In Monaco, the home of glamour and the idle rich, he meets French billionaire playboy Léo Artois. After getting off on the wrong foot—as happens when one accuses a stranger of being part of the Albanian mafia—their attraction blazes. Léo, born to the top tier of society, has never known limits, and Ben, used to budgeting every cent, finds it difficult to adjust to not only Léo's world, but also the changes wealth brings to his own life.
As they make allowances for each other's foibles, Ben gradually appreciates the finer things, and Léo widens his perspective. They both know one thing: this is not a typical holiday romance, and they're not ready to say goodbye.
PLEASE LEAVE YOUR REVIEW HERE.
Louisa Masters started reading romance much earlier than her mother thought she should. While other teenagers were sneaking out of the house, Louisa was sneaking romance novels in and working out how to read them without being discovered. She’s spent most of her life feeling sorry for people who don’t read, convinced that books are the solution to every problem. As an adult, she feeds her addiction in every spare second, only occasionally tearing herself away to do things like answer the phone and pay bills. She spent years trying to build a “sensible” career, working in bookstores, recruitment, resource management, administration, and as a travel agent, before finally conceding defeat and devoting herself to the world of romance novels.
Louisa has a long list of places first discovered in books that she wants to visit, and every so often she overcomes her loathing of jet lag and takes a trip that charges her imagination. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, where she whines about the weather for most of the year while secretly admitting she’ll probably never move.

Heartless by Michelle Horst
📚📚📚My Review📚📚📚
Ok, this was completely different than what I was expecting, but in a good way! I loved the story and the characters, especially Danny! Adorable! I can't wait to read the other Srew Crew books, I am especially looking forward to Marcus.....we didn't get much of him, but he is my type of book boyfriend! One thing I will say though is at times while reading the transitions from time/place/scene were a little abrupt, not entirely believable. Kind of like and now this, but wait how did we get here? I guess I'm saying I wanted more of the lead up between the main parts, but it was a wonderful story. I will definitely be picking up the next book!
Title: HEARTLESS
Author: MICHELLE HORST
Genre: Unrequited Love/ Second Chance Romance
I’m warned that Carter Hayes is heartless.
He’s part of the screw crew.
He’ll just use you and leave you.
He’s ruthless and always gets what he wants.
Just look for the trail of broken hearts and dreamy sighs and you’ll find him.
He’s part of the screw crew.
He’ll just use you and leave you.
He’s ruthless and always gets what he wants.
Just look for the trail of broken hearts and dreamy sighs and you’ll find him.
“Hot as sin, Carter.”
I don’t have time to fall head over heels for any guy. Besides, he’d never notice someone like me. I have a three step plan. Get through college. Get a job. Get my sister out of the hell hole I left her in. That’s all I have time for.
That’s until I hear of the betting pool the guys started. Whoever fucks me first gets the money. The moment Carter looks at me, I know it’s only because of the bet.
I tell myself our first kiss is only for show.
I hate my heart for falling for his irresistible charm.
For one foolish moment, I actually want him to be my first earth-shattering love. All it takes for me to give in is a little attention, a cocky smile, and a fake promise of a happily-ever-after.
When I’m surrounded by crumpled sheets and the smell of sex, I realize I let him have me for four hundred dollars.
To save what little pride I have left, I pretend it didn’t mean anything, that he’s just one last fuck before we all leave college.
I’ve spent the last four years lying to myself. When I’m ready to take the final step of my plan, and save my sister, guess who walks through my front door?
Michelle Horst is a Bestselling Romance Author who likes her books hot, dirty, and with a touch of darkness. She loves an alpha hero who is not scared to fight for his woman.

Complicated Hearts Book 2 by Ashley Jade
📚📚📚 My Review📚📚📚
I received an arc while at work, I started reading as soon as I got home, my plan? To read some and then finish today. But you know those books where you can't put it down? You say one more chapter, one more page, one more paragraph, one more sentence, one more word.....and then before you realize it is 3 in the morning and you have to be at work at 7. You're running on fumes and caffeine. All the while you're thinking it was so worth it. About 18 hours after finishing this book and my emotions are still wrapped in these three. I want my own Asher Holden and Landon Parker. Ashely I loved it! I waited somewhat impatiently for this second book, and it was totally worth it! By the way I think little brother Holden needs a book!!!
Title: Complicated Hearts: Part 2
Series: Complicated Hearts Duet
Author: Ashley Jade
Genre: New Adult/Erotica/Menage
Release Date: August 31, 2017
Things are going to get...complicated.
This is Book two (the final book) of the Complicated Hearts Duet. Book one must be read first.
Warning: This book is not for everyone. These characters are flawed and the situation is intense and frustrating. Emotions—all of them—run high. If you're looking for perfect characters and a perfect story...this book isn't for you.
Trigger Warning:
This story is strange and unconventional. It's everything you hate. That's the only warning I can offer you.
I'm a lover of romance, erotica, dark romance, oxford comma's, the em dash, peanut butter on my cookies and anything thought provoking...except for math. I've always read books growing up and after having a strange dream one night; I decided to just go for it and publish my first series.
Little did I know, I would end up falling head over heels in love with writing and it would own and soothe my soul.
If I'm not paying off student loan debt, working, or writing a novel—you can usually find me listening to music and pondering the meaning of life.
Check my amazon page and Facebook page for future novels. I recently became hip and joined Twitter, so you can find me there, too. I love connecting with my fans—you are my world.
