EXCERPT:


SPENCER

I ease out of the room quietly and take the baby downstairs. The house is big and the kitchen is far, but I can hear the bustle of kids and dogs before I even make it downstairs. When I walk in, it’s a madhouse. I love this fucking madhouse. My girls are all laughing and talking a mile a minute. Belle is stuffing her face with pancakes, Jasmine and Ariel are clinking their OJ glasses together like they are having a secret toast, and Rory is…

I squint my eyes at Rory. She’s talking to Five, but that’s not what makes me squint my eyes. She’s wearing a Shrike Trikes t-shirt and sweat pants, but it’s the way… it’s the shape of her…

“Daddy,” Rory squeals, getting up from her stool at the breakfast bar and coming towards me. “Five wants to know—”

“Absolutely not.”

She stops short. “What?” Her smile falters.

Cindy smacks her little fist into my eyeball, and I have to take a deep breath. “I’m sorry, what were you going to ask?” I eye Five suspiciously. I know he’s always liked her, but he’s so weird. Like Ford, just weird. Always wearing those suits. Always on that computer. And he’s been in and out of different college programs since he was ten or eleven. He’s gone a lot and that’s the way I like it.

But today he looks… different. Different in the same way that Rory looks different in her innocent nightclothes. He almost looks normal in his flannel pajama pants and Shrike t-shirt. Add in the fact that his normally perfectly coiffed hair is messed up a little like he just rolled out of bed, and I get flushed with anger.

In fact, Rory’s long blonde hair is all messed up too. Flowing over her shoulders like an unruly waterfall. And Five is looking at her the way I look at the Bomb.

“But Daddy,” Rory pleads. “I need to go shopping.”

“Shopping?” I ask, ratcheting down my suspicions and getting a hold of my paranoia as the seconds tick off.

“Yeah, we don’t want to ski today. We want to go shopping in the Village.”

Shopping. I mull it over in my head. Lots of people there. Crowds of people, actually.

Not private, in other words. “Maybe,” I say. “But I’m pretty sure Ford is counting on you to help him, Five.”


“Mr. Shrike,” Five starts. “I’ve already cleared it with my father. Kate’s helping him today. Right, Kate?” He looks over at his sister and there’s… there’s some kind of secret look going on between the two of them.

“Yup,” Kate says. She is as normal as Five is strange. And she’s been Ford’s little sidekick since day one. But she’s smarter than people give her credit for. I think she secretly likes it that way. Like being underestimated is the best gift she ever got out of being Ford’s adopted daughter. “Ford and I are skiing a double black once the kids are finished.”

“Well,” I say, eyeing my brood. Rory needs a chaperone. Belle, Jas and Ariel won’t go shopping. They love Ford too much to skip out on a whole day with him on the slopes. And there’s no chance in hell that Rook and Ronin will have time to shop today. Sparrow has ballet rehearsal before The Nutcracker tonight. “Oliver,” I say,
smiling. “Ollie, my boy. You don’t want to ski today, do you? You hate skiing.” He does too, he can’t ski worth a shit. “Will you go with Rory and finds something extra-special pretty for Mommy today? She’s tired and needs a pick-me-up present before Santa comes.”


“Yay!” Oliver says. “Yes, yes, yes! I want to go shopping with Five. He’s the best, Daddy.”

I roll my eyes. “OK, good. You can go, Princess, but…” I look at Five. “But…”

“But what, Daddy?” Rory asks.

But what am I going to say to Five? You touch my girl, I’ll break your fingers? I’ll grab that shotgun I’m hiding under my bed and—“Just be home in time for dinner. Your mom is making something special tonight.”







An early Christmas present...what a treat! Reading Happily Ever After, slipping back into Rook & Ronin and company's world, was like wrapping up in a warm blanket and sipping on some hot chocolate - comfortable.

Happily Ever After shows us what life is like for these characters now that the most dangerous thing they do is a terrain park on skis and their biggest worry is that the kids are growing up too quickly. I was absolutely delighted with this glimpse into their world and how they spend Christmas Eve together. 

All the situations each of these couples are experiencing felt authentic and real and really resonated deeply in my. I had tears in my eyes on more than one occasion as I shared in Rook & Ronin's worry over the future for their kids, Ford & Ash's struggle over whether or not to expand their family, and Spencer and Ronnie's concern over the princess dating.

Kids do grow up way to fast and life moves at light speed the older we get. I took great pleasure in seeing some of my favorite characters going through the same things I've gone through or am currently experiencing. And the multiple POVs just added to the wonder - especially Five's. To see life finally got to normal for these couples and their families - well, it left me feeling warm and fuzzy!

If you've read the Rook & Ronin series, this is a must read!

New Release Blitz, Review, & Giveaway ~ Anarchy Found ~ JA Huss



Happy Release Day, JA Huss!!
Anarchy Found releases today!

***

Anarchy Found (SuperAlpha, #1)Anarchy Found by JA Huss
SuperAlpha Series #1
Release Date: December 2, 2015
Genre: Adult, Superhero Romance
Source: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I also purchased on my own copy on Nook.
Rating: 5 Bookworms
Goodreads ~ Amazon ~ B&N

Synopsis
Everyone needs a hero.

That’s what Detective Molly Masters tells me. “What we need,” she says, “what the whole world needs,” she pleads, “is a champion.”

The only thing I want to talk about with Molly Masters is how I’d like to make her scream my name when I push her up against a wall, slide my hand up her thigh, and live out my wildest fantasies.

“Someone who will fight against injustice,” she says.

I’ll fight against anything you want, honey. Just come a little closer.

“Someone who will stand tall in the face of adversity,” she says.

I’ll do it standing, sitting, or lying down. See how easy I am?

“Someone who believes in the value of a good deed,” she says.

I believe in the value of me, sweetheart. Because I’m Lincoln Wade. Jaded genius, obscenely wealthy, capable of violence, and looking for revenge.

Molly Masters might have delusions of grandeur. She might see me as some superman capable of cleaning up the scum, filth, and corruption in Cathedral City.

But I’m not the hero she’s looking for.

I’m the dark alley where all her good intentions hide.

So be careful what you wish for, Molly Masters.

Because you’re about to get it.


***TRAILER***






My introduction to Ms. Huss came via her Junco series. If you follow me, you know that sci-fi is stepping out of my comfort zone just a little. I was blown away by that series. Seriously. Which brings us to Anarchy Found. Superheroes. Yep. Once again, I stepped outside my box, trusting Ms. Huss not to let me down. And once again, I was blown away as she took me on one crazy-ass ride!

The level of detail that went into the creation of this story, its characters, and fictional setting is evident when you take into consideration the hand-drawn cover and images (one shown below) interspersed throughout this book. The depth of the characters, the complexity of the plot, the description and detail of the science and technology that mark the characters, the action, the mystery, and the romance, all combine beautifully and skillfully in a way I believe would satisfy any reader.



Molly Masters recently returned to Cathedral City thinking she's finally moving on with her life following the debilitating depression she suffered after the death of her brother. She has no idea the part she'll play in the events unfolding in the city. Lincoln Wade is a major player in these events and he's dumbstruck when Molly enters the playing field. I highlighted the hell out of this book - anything I thought was a clue to what was going on. Ms. Huss proved, yet again, her prowess in creating smokescreens, throwing out red herrings, and basically keeping me off-balance, never knowing what revelation would come next.

The supporting cast, Lincoln's fellow alphas, were all well fleshed out. Ms. Huss provided enough detail for story depth and to leave me panting for more. I may not read superheroes but I have watched enough to know Ms. Huss has laid the foundation for what will be an incredible series.

Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance, Romantic Comedy

Synopsis
Fletcher Novak is Sexy.

Fletch has charm, Fletch has charisma, and Fletch has moves. He turns dreams into reality two nights a week, baring his body to lonely women, bored housewives, and bachelorettes looking for that one last good time. He’s into one-night stands, one-time things, and he never, ever gets serious. 

Tiffy Preston is looking for commitment.

A billionaire’s daughter with the world at her fingertips, Tiffy’s in Lake Tahoe to take over her father’s hotel and clean up the Mountain Men Male Revue Show. She’s well-bred, polite, and hates everything Fletcher represents.

But Fletcher offers Tiffy something she can’t refuse—total satisfaction and the man of her dreams. All she has to do is… everything he tells her. 

Because Sexy doesn’t sell… it’s for sale.


Sexy is a full-length, standalone novel by New York Times Bestselling author, JA Huss.



***TRAILER***






**Warning ~ This excerpt is steamy and not appropriate for those until 17**


“Have you thought about me?” I ask. “Since last night at the show? Because I’ve thought about you.”

“What did you think about me? That I’m your next victim?”

“No, actually.” I smooth down the blanket on the ground of the shed and then step towards her, taking her face in my hands and pulling her tight against my chest. “I’ve thought about your hot breath as you panted against my cock when I was standing on your chair. I thought about your upturned eyes, looking at me if I ever got the chance to get you on your knees.”

She gulps air. 

“Now tell me what you’ve been thinking about. Because you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t want to be.”

“We’re locked in,” she whispers as my mouth moves in closer.

I kiss her softly. No tongue, just a small, tender kiss that makes girls melt. “You have a phone, Tiffy. One call to your BFF, Claudio, and you’re free.” 

She stares at me.

“But even though I might be the biggest prick you ever met, you want me, don’t you.”

She swallows hard. 

“And I want you. That’s why we’re here. I want you. So if you don’t feel the same way, now’s your chance to say so.”

“I want…” She stops. There was a word on her lips, but I’m almost certain it was not my name. Jealousy heats me up in a millisecond. What kind of girl has another man’s name on her tongue when she’s gazing up into my eyes?

“What?” I say sharply. “What were you gonna say?”

“I want to be irresistible. Like you.”

“What?” I have to admit, I’m surprised. And then I laugh. “Are you a virgin?”

“I’m twenty-six, asshole. I’m not a fucking virgin.”

“Then what do you mean? I’m confused.”

“You’re just…” She sighs. “So good at this stuff. Seduction, right? I’m bad at it.”

“Who do you want to seduce?” My jealous rage is back.

“No one. Not specifically. But you’re so confident. And I’m so… not. I feel like I should take notes.”

It’s my turn to sigh. “What, you want me to teach you how to seduce someone?” The irony is not lost. 

“Well, look. I hate you. I really do. You had me grabbing your cock last night and then I got accused of sexually harassing you. You made me feel like an idiot in that meeting with your plans and proposals. And now I’m up in your sex den, and I’m not sure what’s happening.” She looks at me with pleading eyes. “Tell me how you get all this control. How do you do it?”

I think about this for a few seconds, and then take a calculated risk. “How many blowjobs have you given in your life, Tiffy?”

“What?” She laughs, putting her hand over her heart like the word ‘blowjob’ is an assault on her virtue. 

“Any?”

“I’ve given… one,” she admits, and then averts her eyes.

I’m turned on again. “One? One is not enough. If you want to know how to control a man, you don’t need to look any further than your own mouth. Men are drawn to lips. Every girl they ever think about sexually starts with an image of their cock in that girl’s mouth. So if you want control, you gotta lead a guy to your mouth.”

She takes a deep breath. “Go on.”

God, why am I so annoyed that she’s asking me for pointers? I can make her do anything I want right now. I should be celebrating.

“Please,” she begs. “Tell me.”

I place a hand on her shoulder and push. “Get on your knees.”

Release Day Review ~ Sexy ~ JA Huss

Happy Release Day, JA Huss!!
Sexy releases today!


SexySexy by JA Huss
Release Date: September 9, 2015
Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance
Source: I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review
Rating: 4.5 Bookworms

Synopsis
Imagine the man of your dreams.

The blue eyes. The unruly blonde hair. The perfect abs. How strong his muscular thighs feel as you dig your fingernails into the denim of his jeans.
Now imagine looking up to meet his gaze as he guides you towards his belt. Offers you a new life, a new destiny, a whole new world as he teaches you how to make him moan. Coaches you in the art of being sexy.

Would you say no? Could you say no?

Fletcher Novak is that perfect man and he just made Tiffy Preston the offer of a lifetime. And all she has to do is...everything he tells her.


First things first...if you tend to shy away from Huss because of her darker storylines, know that Sexy is something altogether and not at all dark. So pick it up, y'all!

Okay...

Having read a few (read: all) of Huss' books, I've come to expect a few things from her:

  • I'm always going to get a fresh story
  • I'm always going to get a tightly woven story with a strong plot, and compelling characters
  • Things are never going to be as they appear on the surface
  • I typically learn something about human nature
Sexy delivered on all points. It is definitely unlike anything I've read before. I was introduced to characters I quickly became invested in as well as a plot that kept me riveted. And as Huss started the revelations, I learned something about judging a book by it's cover, so to speak.

Fletcher Novak - yeah, I didn't much care for him upon first meeting him. I, like Tiffy, felt he was an arrogant player. But as I got to know him, I began to see how unfair it was to make those assumptions - even if he was the one perpetuating them. I came to see Fletcher had layers and underneath that sexy facade was something even sexier - but not without flaws.

Tiffy Preston could be perceived as a spoiled, rich princess - with a touch of condescension. After all, when we meet her, she's out to fire Fletcher based on preconceived notions and rumors. Getting to know her and her background explained so much about her thoughts and behavior. I got to see past her veneer to the real her and, like Fletcher, I liked what I saw.

Fletcher and Tiffy end up engaging in a business arrangement of sorts, and more, because Tiffy wants to know how to be like Fletcher - confident and sexy - and Fletcher is certainly an expert in that field. In the end though, they both learn what it really means to be sexy.

My only wish would be to have had more time with Fletcher and Tiffy together - learning about one another - solidifying their feelings for one another. When they were together, they let the other see things they didn't show anyone else. But at the same time, they were both hiding so much. I also really missed the thriller element usually present in a Huss book. As it stands though, Sexy was fun, steamy, enlightening, and captivating...a story that will stick with me for quite awhile.
