Review: For The Night (Luna #1) by Violet Haze

Title: For The Night (Luna #1)
Author: Violet Haze

Note: This erotic romance is a SHORT novelette (roughly 50 pages) and first in a series of three. Not all situations are resolved! For ages 16-18+ depending on your location.


A rule I don’t intend to break… 
They know me as Luna. We meet. We spend the night together. Then we never see each other again. That’s my rule and I’ve never been tempted to change my mind…until him. 


A man who wants me to fulfill his every desire… 
He meets me as Luna, unaware that he’s met me before as another. And when I realize he’s poised to take away the one thing that matters, I do what I have to do to keep what belongs to me. 


A decision that could break us both… 
In the secret war between me and a man who may be the one I’d spent my life searching for…will he be the one who gives into my desires…or I into his? 

Luna #1: For The Night
Luna #2: What He Desires (out NOW)

Excerpt

“We’ll discuss this later.” He grins and pats his lap. “Right now, I need to smack your ass.” I want him to smack it. Chances are, the smacking will turn into fucking. And after three days with no sex, I’m more or less ready to beg for it. But I can’t let him know that. So much for being obedient. “I don’t think so.” Grinning wider, he pulls me onto his lap. I don’t even struggle; I am no match for his strength and we both know it. He adjusts my body across his legs, making it necessary for me to use my arms to brace against the floor to keep my balance, and chuckles while caressing my ass with one hand. Hit me! I would wiggle along with the thought, but he’s holding on to my legs pretty tight. I want his hands on me in a bad, I-haven’t-been-fucked in days kinda way. Even if it’s in spanking form. Please, please touch me more, I want to pant. “Safe word?” He’s worse than a woman sometimes. I don’t even talk this much! I let out an irritated sigh, then laugh. “Oompa loompa.” The caressing stops. He makes a sound somewhere between a cough and a laugh. “What?” I deliberately misinterpret his question. “Yeah. You know, from Willy Wonka?” He smacks my ass, and I yelp before grinning. I know he can’t see my face, which makes this even more fun than I could’ve imagined. “Let’s try this again.” He goes back to fondling me. “Are you sure that’s the word you want to use?” “Absolutely. It’s perfect. An unsexy safe word. Especially since nobody thinks an oompa loompa is sexy.” His hand grips one cheek as he busts out laughing. “Oompa loompa it is.” His hands leave my ass. “Ten smacks.” I barely have time to process it, let alone ask why ten when he lands a firm slap on the right side.

My Review

5 of 5 ♥'s
Wow, I knew there were paranormal elements being introduced into the 2nd book but I was totally surprised by the actual direction that this story took.  There is more of the witty humor and awesome sex that I've come to expect from the author and she seriously does not disappoint. (I love the Oompa Loompas!! HAHA)  I enjoyed this book more than the first and now I'm anxiously awaiting #3.  If these first 2 in the series are any indication as to how great #3 will be then you will want to make sure you get them read so you'll be ready to continue too!  Ms. Haze has a fan for life!

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Learning to Let Go by Cynthia P. O'Neill

Learning to Let Go-2 Banner
Learning to Let Go-2
Title: Learning to Let Go (Learning Series #2)
Author: Cynthia P. O'Neil
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 
Synopsis
Garrett Andrews has controlled every aspect of his life for as long as he can remember. Whatever he wanted, he took, especially when it came to Laurel Hart. She was the first person to make his heart skip a beat and capture his soul, allowing part of his control to slip, which uncovered his lie and destroyed her trust in him.
Laurel now lays battered and broken thanks to Chase Peterson, a stalker from her college days, who won’t accept no for an answer. Garrett is determined to win her back, obsessing over her care in an attempt to heal both her body and her mind. He will go to any lengths to earn back her trust and teach her to let go of the past, but can he follow his own advice and let down his own walls? They struggle to overcome their issues and soon Chase is after her again, fixated on staking his “claim” with a startling revelation that links both the past and present. Can they find happiness with each other or is their too much to overcome? Only time will tell if they can learn to let go.



Excerpt
My heart rate picked up and the closeness I longed for began to fill me as his hands reached down, grabbing hold of my backside and lifting me.

“Wrap your legs around me,” Garrett insisted.

I did what he asked. My arms circled round his neck so he wouldn’t drop me as he walked both of us through the living area of the yacht and into the master bedroom, decorated with the same burgundy fabrics and walnut woods as his beach house. Wow, he really knows how to carry a decorative theme to the extreme.

Garrett sat me down on the bed and took a few steps back so I could look around at my surroundings. I was surprised to see one wall lined with mirrors, reflecting back the image of the room. “Why all the mirrors?”

“My sister, Sarah, suggested them to make the room seem larger than it is. When she’s not designing buildings, she loves to try and decorate for me.”

He moved back and forth across the room, his eyes continually fixated on me as he paced. He looked like a lion getting ready to attack his prey. I could feel the heat pool in my belly and my nipples harden at the anticipation.

“I want you to take your clothes off, Laurel,” he crooned, his voice practically dripping with seduction. “I’m afraid that if I try to help I’ll rip them to shreds.”

Oh my, he is pent up. I stood and started removing my slim jeans. I had to wiggle them off of my hips to get them going; even with the weight loss, my hips had retained their voluptuousness. With each wiggle he groaned a little more and began to undress himself. I reached for my t-shirt and noticed the peaks of my nipples pushing through the bikini top. I tried to turn away to remove my shirt.

“Don’t turn away from me, darling. I need to see all of you.”

I noticed his shirt already on the floor and tossed mine on top of it. He started unzipping his pants as I took off my bikini top and playfully threw it his direction. To my surprise, he caught it in his teeth and growled low in the back of his throat before spitting it out on the floor. He took his waistband in his hands and in one swift move, freed himself of both his jeans and boxer briefs.

“Oh, my.”

He wasn’t kidding about being hard.

Rating & Review
5 of 5 ♥'s

This was a great sequel to book 1(Learning to Trust) and I am so glad to have been able to read book 2 right after because book 1 had a killer cliffhanger.  Learning to Let Go has a fantastic ending that you will not be so frustrated with.  The attack as suspected would have set anyone back for quite a while but Laurel is strong and Garret is there to love and protect her and will go to any lengths to have her safe and happy.   Not only did Laurel learn to let go but also in many ways Garret has learned to as well.  I don't want to say much more and spoil anything.  Just know that you have to read this series.  The author has created another magnificent, heart gripping and suspense filled book with a strong, sexy and in depth set of characters.  I am very much anticipating book 3.
ARC received from the Author in exchange for an honest review.

ONE TO KEEP By Tia Louise *unedited draft, subject to change* expected release March 2014 © 2014, Tia Louise 

The condo is dim as I cross back to the kitchen for a bottle of water. Only one lamp is lit, and I go to the enormous glass windows to look out and wait. A few lights dot the downtown area. It’s either too early or too wintery for most people to be out. With the tip of my finger, I touch the cold glass and try to imagine where he is right now. How much longer he’ll work. When he’ll be here with me… A noise at the door causes me to turn, and my chest squeezes when I see him standing in the doorway. His heavy grey overcoat makes him look even taller than six-two, his shoulders even broader. His dark hair is longer than usual, and it just touches his collar in gentle waves. Vibration hums under my skin as I watch him silently, my fingers curl with longing to touch him, slide through that hair. He shrugs off the top coat and hooks it on the rack, and I almost sigh audibly when I recognize the suit he’s wearing. It’s the same one from all those nights ago when I would gaze at him on my laptop screen. Back then I only had my memories and my hands. Now I have the real thing. Gorgeous. He doesn’t see me, doesn’t even know I’m here, and it takes all my strength not to call out to him. I’m waiting, wanting him to see me first. The entry light is on, and his attention is occupied by the stack of mail in his hand. I can see the tension in his lined brow, and even his shoulders appear tight. Touching my lips with my tongue, I have an idea for massaging that stress away, that luscious suit in a pile on the floor, my mouth covering his skin with kisses. I remember the band holding up my hair and quickly pull it out. My long, dark waves sweep over my shoulders at the exact moment his eyes rise. Beautiful blue eyes meet mine, and the center of my body turns to hot liquid. My arm drops, parting the robe, revealing a peek of my nude body underneath, and his confusion is quickly replaced by desire. Without a word, he tosses the letters on the table and shrugs out of the suit coat. He crosses the dining area fast, and I can barely breathe as he approaches, removing more clothing with each step. Tie off, his fingers unfasten buttons. He’s in front of me, shirt open, undershirt the only thing between his skin and mine. It’s possible I’ll come the moment we touch, but I snatch the edge of the thin white tank and push it up his lined torso, pressing my lips against his heated flesh. Large hands are inside the robe, sliding down my bare skin, and a little cry comes from my throat when he grips my ass lifts. I’m off my feet in a sweep, weightless in his arms. My back is pressed against the cold glass, and my breasts are flat against his bare chest. His waist is between my thighs, pressing, teasing, as his mouth muffles the noises coming from my throat. Firm lips push mine apart, and our tongues meet, his exploring my mouth hungrily. Our kisses are desperate, ravenous, and every time his hips push against my clit, fire surges hotter through my body. I need him inside me now. The only sounds are the little noises of pleasure coming from my throat, and his scent is all around me, flooding my senses. My fingers dig into his broad shoulders, pulling him closer to me as his soft lips and scratchy beard blaze a trail from my jaw down my neck to my breasts. I can’t help a moan as my head drops back against the glass. “Oh, god,” I gasp as he catches a straining nipple in his mouth and gives it a hard pull. The sensation registers directly between my legs to my core, and my insides tighten in anticipation. My hands are in his hair, pulling, threading the soft, dark locks, as his kisses climb back up my neck. He’s consuming me, pulling little bits of my skin between his teeth as he goes. “Now, baby.

There’s a new guy in town...

“Patrick Knight, single, retired Guard-turned private investigator. I was a closer. A deal maker. I looked clients in the eye and told them I’d get their shit done. And I did...”

After his fiancée cheats, he follows up with a one-night stand and a disastrous office hook-up. His business partner (Derek Alexander) sends him to the desert to get his head straight—and clean up the mess.
While there, Patrick meets Elaine, and blistering sparks fly, but she’s not looking for any guy. Or a long-distance relationship.
