Sean, a single California Interior designer sets his sights on going home after a short business trip on the island of Kauai. On his way back to the States, Sean’s world literally spirals out of control when the flight he’s on takes a course he hadn’t expected and into the masculine arms of Kale, a drop dead handsome pilot with attitude, spontaneous charm, and a hint of recklessness. While stuck on a deserted island off the coast of Maui, they discover there are situations worse than the one they’re in. Initially all they have in common are their aversions for each other and their eagerness to survive. When they realize all they have is each other, Sean and Kale set their differences aside, learn to cope with their seemingly tragic situation and find common ground. After a string of mishaps and clashing personalities, their time together proves far from foolproof when they surprisingly get swept into a whirlwind romance. The early stages of their engagement involve increasingly desperate measures to conceal their growing affection for each other and by the time Kale confesses his desires, Sean is obsessed. With hormones on both sides roiling and reality setting in, their need to explore each other grows. Can Kale hide his interest in the man he finds ideal until Sean is ready? Or will Sean’s hysterical dramatic disposition send him packing? Crashing into Love is a romantic comedy about a quirky courtship, clashing personalities, love, and a developing relationship that turns profound - but not necessarily in that order! Kale and Sean are pitch-perfect in this comical romance of unintentional companionship.

REVIEW:

This is the second book I've read by Mr. Scott. I enjoyed this one more than the first I read.  This is one of those feel good type books.  There is no real emotional problems with these characters.  All the angst is situation based and easily overcome. The two characters find themselves stranded on an uninhabited island after Kade's plane goes down just miles from their destination. After a harrowing free fall where Kade saves Sean's life, Sean is in no way ready to let Kade in, feeling like it's all Kade's fault. Kade is a sweetheart of a guy, easy going and just wants to keep Sean safe until they're rescued. 

When they do come together the heat between the two will steam up your ereader!  That seems to be the best thing about Mr. Scott's writing.  We never get more than just the surface of the characters, which seems true in the other book I read as well.  I wish he would do a little more character development.  If you are looking for a quick feel good book to pass the time you will enjoy reading Crashing Into Love. 

3-1/2 stars

Making every attempt not to disturb Sean, Kale quietly slithered into the ditch, taking the same spot behind him where he was before venturing out to pee. Moving slowly, he laid back with his shoulder lightly pressing against Sean’s shoulder blades, just so he could feel he was there. The touch comforted him, felt nice to have another man lying next to him again, to feel the warmth of another body, making him feel less alone. Finally Kale’s breathing went shallow and he started to drift off. As Sean lay quietly awake, he could tell Kale was getting sleepy, legitimately sleepy. His difficult day of being a superhero had caught up to him. A few minutes later a faint, wheezing snore came out of Kale and he knew for sure the man behind him was out cold. Halfway into the night, Sean was chilled, couldn’t get warm no matter what he tried to do. He tossed, turned, rolled over and pulled his knees to his chest that put his body into a tight ball. Kale felt Sean’s restlessness as well as a cool sensation emanating from his flesh. He told Sean earlier he’d do what it took to help his distraught passenger survive, and if he needed to lie on top of him like a warming blanket, he’d do it. Kale was a hero like that, a good guy. He’d do just about anything to save a life. Kale rolled over, pressed his warm chest against Sean’s back, wrapped his arms tightly around him and hoped he’d stay there in his arms. He sighed. Damn, Sean felt good in his arms. There were a few shudders from Sean, chilled ones, before he settled down and started warming up again. Kale’s cozy hug from behind felt comforting to Sean, a feeling he’d been missing and wanted to always come home to.

Gregory Jonathan Scott was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Shortly out of high school was when he began his longtime relationship with his partner and companion Scott. Having artistic hands, together they pursued building a small business in ceramic art and pottery that quickly grew into the number one distribution center for hobbyists, storefronts and scholastic industries. During that time, Gregory was approached by art magazines to write short articles and educational columns pertaining to the ceramic artistry. After charming readers by his writing style, it ignited his desire to express himself further. From there, it began. Finding a love for writing, alongside his artistic hand, gave him inspiration to design and write M/M romance Novels that captivate and take the reader on unexpected adventures. Gregory and Scott are still together and are currently enjoying home life in South Florida with their lovable Shetland sheepdog and a sweet stray cat. Currently my favorite quote... "If there weren’t a last minute, nothing would get done."

Cover Reveal Sight and Sinners (Men of London #2) by Susan Mac Nicol

We are very excited to welcome Susan Mac Nicol with us today. Susan is debuting her newest book with us, Sight and Sinners (Men of London #2). We have the Book Cover Reveal, Book Blurb, a Video Trailer and an Author Bio about Susan.


Release Date: February 23, 2015

THE MEN OF LONDON From Charing Cross to Waterloo, there’s no escaping love.

SEEING THROUGH… 28-year-old Draven Samuels has a tragic past, but as an investigator with a high-profile London company he now gets what he wants. Tough, sarcastic, and sceptical, he has no patience for lies and even less for people who waste his time. Even if they’re as beautiful as the wild and dark-haired Taylor Abelard. Especially when they’re talking over the body of a murder victim.

THE DARKNESS Psychic Taylor Abelard is used to people calling him a freak. He can see past events and feel the ghostly vibrations of people close to him who've passed on. It’s why he doesn't get too close to the living. But this time, against his better judgment, despite Draven’s mocking rejoinders, Taylor will get closer than ever before. The mystery surrounding a dead friend will lead the two men down a dark and seedy trail of blackmail and lies. Add in the heartbreak of a family tragedy, and events lead them straight into each other’s arms. By the end of this night, all their demons will have risen—and been banished with the dawn.

Susan Mac Nicol is a self confessed bookaholic, an avid watcher of videos of sexy pole dancing men, self confessed geek and nerd and in love with her Smartphone. This little treasure is called ‘the boyfriend’ by her long suffering husband, who says if it vibrated, there’d be no need for him. Susan hasn’t had the heart to tell him there’s an app for that… She is never happier than when sitting in the confines of her living room/study/on a cold station platform scribbling down words and making two men fall in love. She is a romantic at heart and believes that everything happens (for the most part) for a reason. She likes to think of herself as a ‘half full’ kinda gal, although sometimes that philosophy is sorely tested. Lover of walks in the forest, theatre productions, dabbling her toes in the cold North Sea and the vibrant city of London where you can experience all four seasons in a day , she is a hater of pantomime (so please don’t tar and feather her), duplicitous people, bigotry and self righteous idiots. In an ideal world, Susan Mac Nicol would be Queen of England and banish all the bad people to the Never Never Lands of Wherever -Who Cares. As that’s never going to happen, she contents herself with writing her HEA stories and pretending, that just for a little while, good things happen to good people.

Shameless (Black Brothers Trilogy Book 3) by Brynley Bush Release Day Blitz & Review

 

Title: Shameless (Black Brothers Trilogy Book 3) Author: Brynley Bush Release Day: 02/10/2015 Release Day Blitz: 02/12/2015 Hosted By: SBB Promotions

Sheltered good girl Victoria Raine has always wanted to be a little bad. Tired of living life safely on the sidelines, she summons the courage to forge a new path for herself and applies to the FBI, looking for adventure and something to fulfill her vague longing for something…more. She gets more than she bargained for with her first undercover assignment—posing as the girlfriend of country music’s bad boy, Drake Maddox, a lone wolf with a reputation for having singularly erotic tastes. Hoping to catch a serial killer that’s targeting women close to Drake, Tori’s job is to convince the public, and the killer, that she and the wickedly handsome superstar are an item.

Although their relationship is a sham, there’s nothing fake about the hidden desires the sexy as sin cowboy awakens in Tori. As the killer draws closer, Tori finds herself falling for the one man she can’t have. **Shameless can be read as a standalone novel**

Each book in the Black Brothers Trilogy focuses on a different brother and his story and can be read independently, although the books interconnect.

This is the third book of the series and my favorite!  I want Drake!!!!  Hot rocker guy who is sweet too?  Who wouldn't want that?  He is fiercely loyal to his family even though he sometimes felt left out.  He is the brother who's not a brother.  If you haven't read the other books I won't spoil the intrigue but if you are reading this as a stand alone everything is explained in a way that doesn't feel like you are repeating anything from the first two.  

Tori is becoming fierce in her own right.  Her father is rich and he's pretty much run her life since she went to live with him when she was twelve.  Tori's always wanted to make him proud but a few months ago she decided that she needed to live life for herself and decided to join the FBI.  Now she has her first assignment, Drake Maddox. She is instantly drawn to him, who wouldn't be, but she is determined to make it in the FBI and he just might screw up her plans. 

Drake is being stalked and women from his shows are disappearing.  The FBI are called in when a body shows up. When Tori walks into Drake's house all he sees is the "girl next door" image she projects. When he finds out that she is going to be posing as his girlfriend his protective instincts kick in which shocks him, he's never felt that way before.  Tori is out of her element, Drake's reputation as a player of kinky sex is something she's never dealt with before. Her only sexual experiences were with her ex and he was totally vanilla. She challenges Drake to school her sexually and he sees it as a way to push her away.  When Tori lust meets and exceeds both their expectations they find themselves feeling more than just lust. 

The story wraps up the story lines from the first two books well while introducing us to these two lovers.  I totally enjoyed this series and recommend you start at the beginning and enjoy the Black Brothers. 

   

Fearless (Black Brothers Trilogy Book 1)

         

Fiercely independent and newly single mom Emmaline Hart has spent the last thirteen years putting everyone’s needs before her own. Secretly afraid that her ex-husband’s assertions that she’s too uptight are right, Emma nonetheless keeps her life, and her emotions, firmly under control, fearful of getting hurt again. However, when she meets the dangerously attractive Beckett Black on a job assignment, the way his casual touch sends her pulse racing forces her to acknowledge her growing need to move beyond her fear. When Beckett offers her a job writing the memoir of his father, a renowned cancer researcher, Emma jumps at the career opportunity and the chance to get to know Beckett better. Emma spends her days with the renowned doctor, who has spent his career studying a plant in the Amazon that has the potential to cure cancer, and her nights with Beckett, who slowly pushes past her fears and breaks down her barriers, introducing her to a passionate and forbidden love that surpasses her wildest fantasies. As the doctor’s story of secrets and cover-ups unravels, so does Emmaline’s view on everything she thought she knew about herself and the power of surrender.

Matchless (Black Brothers Trilogy Book 2)

             

When her boss asks for her help on a high profile intellectual property case, the last person attorney Mila Kingston expects to walk into her office is the gorgeous stranger she had an unforgettable one night stand with on her birthday. Navy SEAL Griffin Black has been upfront since the beginning that he's not looking for love or commitment, which is just fine with Mila, who's focused on her career and certainly doesn't have time for a charming playboy. However she can't pass up the opportunity to represent Griffin and his brother in a landmark trade secret case involving a plant from the Amazon with the potential to cure cancer and the greedy woman who will stop at nothing to possess the rights to the research.

Although Mila's determined to keep him at arm's length, the more time she spends with Griffin, the harder it is to resist his easy going charm and his promises of forbidden pleasures. Before long, Mila is entangled with Griffin in a battle for the rights to medical research that could change the world of medicine, as well as her heart.
