Virtual Tour: To Tempt A SEAL By Sara Jane Stone


For the first time in her life, social worker Lucia Lewis is ready to live. And the masquerade ball in Las Vegas is just the place to find a ridiculously hot guy to complete her wicked to-do list. The only rule? Her elegant Venetian mask—which conceals the scars that have always held her back from the life she deserves—stays on.

Navy SEAL Cade Daniels heads to Vegas on a mission to keep his best friend's little sister out of trouble. Except the woman he’s sent to find is all heat and flame…and perfectly capable of handling herself. And him. But the moment Lucia's mask slips, the need to heal her, body and soul, is complete and absolute temptation.

But revealing himself could cost him the one thing he isn't willing to risk...his heart.



To Tempt A SEAL is a quick and sexy read that was the perfect way for me to pass the time on a weekend afternoon.  It is sweet, sexy, funny and left me wishing for a SEAL of my very own.  I liked how that even though Cade knew he was going to get in massive trouble with his best friend he knew that being with Lucia would be worth it; even if it was just for that weekend. He saw the beauty of her before even seeing what was under the mask.  In today’s standards too many people believe that if you aren’t perfect in every way then you aren’t beautiful and I loved reading about a sexy man throwing those thoughts out the door even after seeing Lucia unmasked for the first time.   I kind of really enjoyed the whole Phantom Of The Opera thing going on when it came to the mask, no Lucia isn’t a crazy opera composer, but she wore the mask for a reason; a very sad reason that too many people would judge her for.

Lucia decided that this would be her fantasy weekend, but she didn’t ever dream that a sexy man like Cade would be the one fulfilling them.  She struggles with her insecurities but slowly changes from the caterpillar into the beautiful butterfly and I loved reading it happen.  She wasn’t weak like so many heroines are in books like these, what she was, was someone wounded both physically and emotionally but those wounds began to heal during her weekend with Cade.


To Tempt A SEAL is the first book in the Sin City SEALS series and I am looking forward to reading more from this author.  I am not sure if the rest of the books will focus on Cade’s team mates or someone else but whoever it is I want to read them soon than later.  If you are looking for a sexy read that you can finish easily in an afternoon then grab this one, I think you will like it.

Blog Tour: Consolation By Corinne Michaels



 Liam wasn’t supposed to be my happily ever after.
He wasn’t even on my radar.
He was my husband’s best friend—forbidden.

But my husband is dead and I’m alone. I ache for him and I reach for Liam.

One night with Liam changed everything. Now I have to decide if I truly love him or if he’s just the consolation prize.

****************************************************

When I started reading Consolation, I originally started to read it based on the military element alone.  Obviously I have a soft spot in my heart for military heroes and military themed books if you haven’t noticed in previous reviews.  What I didn’t anticipate was that from the first page until the last I would be so drawn into Natalie’s pain from the death of her husband and the connection that she and Liam shared from the start, even if it was just a friendship.

 I was at the edge of my seat wondering and waiting for them to finally be together even when a silent shit storm was forming around them that no one could ever see coming.  Let me just say that ending?  Yeah my kindle may or may not have bounced off my bedroom wall after reading that.  I will not say what happens but man that was not what I thought was coming after everything else that had happened up until that point. 


I love how Liam and Natalie are together and their banter back and forth is hilarious.  Natalie deserves happiness and so does Liam but will they be getting it in the next book?  I sure hope so.  I hadn’t previously read a book by this author before but if all of her books are like this one I will be placing her on my automatic read list from here on out.  I hope May comes around quickly because I need to see what is going to happen in Conviction.

Excerpt:

Aarabelle sits in her highchair as I feed her dinner. She’s growing so fast. Already she’s eating cereal and a little baby food. Soon she’ll be crawling and I have no one to celebrate with. Her father will never see these milestones and it breaks me apart.
“You should really lock the door,” Liam huffs as he throws his coat over the chair.
“But then I’d have to get up to let you in,” I state matter-of-factly and go back to feeding the baby, trying to put aside my worries. The fact is…this is reality. I have to deal with it.
“Uh huh. Hey, Pumpkin,” his eyes alight as he crouches down by Aara. It’s adorable hearing grown men use a baby voice. It gets a little softer and higher pitched.
The corners of her mouth lift and she throws her arms in the air when he gets close. My heart sputters seeing how happy she gets seeing him. Liam kisses her head and she giggles.
“At least someone is happy to see me,” he says playfully.
“I’d be happy if you brought me a present,” I joke.
He laughs and goes into the pocket of his coat. “Just so happens I did, but since that’s the only way you’ll be nice, I’ll hold on to this until you’ve earned it.”
Practically leaping out of my chair, I rush over. “What is it?” I try to peer around his back as he holds the mystery item.
Liam’s lips curl as he sees how much I want this. I don’t even know what it is. Jeez, I’m an idiot. “Nope. We eat first, then maybe you’ll get it.”
“Watch, it’s a freaking Pez dispenser or something stupid.”
“Guess you’ll have to be nice to find out.” He shoves the item into his back pocket and I fight the urge to reach and get it. “How was work?”
We spend the next thirty minutes going over my day and Jackson’s return. Liam never mentioned that they spoke, but he’s surprised to hear he’s in Virginia. After we finish the pizza, Liam somehow convinces me we should watch a movie. I get Aarabelle to bed and come down to find him sprawled out on the couch.
“By all means, make yourself comfortable.”
Liam pulls his beanie higher on his forehead and his eyes glimmer with amusement. He sits up and puts the TV on. “I picked the movie.”
“What?” I ask with mock incredulity. “It’s my house. Why do you get to pick the movie?”
“Ummm, I’m the guest.” He shrugs as if this should be an obvious answer.
I groan and lean back. “What crappy, shoot-‘em-up movie do I have to endure?”
“You’ll see. It’s a classic.”

Review: Steal My Heart by Lisa Eugene


*There is dubious consent and a little non-con in this book*

Steal My Heart is the story of a germaphobe nurse who gets kidnapped and taken on a wild ride by a hot ex-navy SEAL. Along the way, they’re thrown into danger, deceit, murder, mayhem and betrayal.

So, this review is a little hard for me to write. I have mixed feelings about it. I love military heroes, whether active or retired. I love the idea of falling for someone you wouldn’t normally. I loved the action, the intrigue, the mystery and was totally caught off-guard by the guilty party.

The idea of a germaphobe nurse travelling and wearing the same clothes over and over made me chuckle. Watching how Gabe dealt with her was even better.

The romance between Gabe and Maggie was hot. Gabe learning to let others in and learning to love was great. I also love that Maggie was a full figured woman. And the descriptions matched that. It was just lip service. This hot SEAL falling for a full figure woman was awesome.

So, where was my problem with the story? There quite a few words I had to stop and look up. I have a pretty decent vocabulary and I rarely have to look up words when reading romance novels. However, I found myself being pulled from the story and forced to look up words. It tended to disrupt the flow for me.

The first half of the story dragged a bit for me. This may have been because I kept getting pulled from the story. However, the last half really picked up the pace.

The last 25% was rolling fast and furious and I couldn’t read fast enough. It was full of action and passion.

The best part? The conclusion! Nope, not gonna tell. You’ll have to read it. But, let’s just say, the ultimate guilty party was a surprise to me. Plus, how it all ended up being resolved was AWESOME! I liked that ending!

Now, what did the vagina say to the rabbi? (read the book, you’ll understand the question!)

Melissa Schroeder
From an early age, Melissa loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.

Since the publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to fifty romances published. She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the bestselling Harmless series. In 2011, Melissa branched out into self-publishing with A Little Harmless Submission and the popular military spinoff, Infatuation: A Little Harmless Military Romance. Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer’s recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, three nominations for AAD Bookies and regularly tops the best seller lists on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Since she spent her childhood as a military brat, Melissa swore never to marry military. But, as we all know, Fate has her way with mortals. She is married to an AF major and is raising her own brats, both human and canine. She spends her days giving in to her addiction to Twitter, counting down the days until her hubby retires, and cursing the military for always sticking them in a location that is filled with bugs big enough to eat her children.

JM Madden
I don't like to talk about myself so this will be short and sweet.

I am a wife and mother of two. I currently stay home to take care of the farm and family, which I love. I was a deputy sheriff in Ohio for nine years, and I found myself tapping that experience as I wrote Second Time Around. No, I didn't tackle and cuff my husband, although there was that time in K-mart... Anyway, it was quite a change going from writing technical reports with diagrams, witness statements, inventories etc that would stand up in court to writing contemporary romance. I've always written, though, and it was always a dream to do something with that huge, leaning stack of spiral-bound notebooks.

Second Time Around was my first release, and Love on the Line is my eighth. I thank you so much for taking an interest in my work...

Stay tuned. There's a lot more coming
