Release Day Blitz for More Than Famous by Kahlen Aymes


MORE THAN FAMOUS
Author: Kahlen Aymes
Series: Famous #2
~ SYNOPSIS ~
Fame is a bitch... And a half.

Being a big star has its perks, but Caden Carlisle is in love with his costar, Brooklyn Halloway, and the movie studio demands that they keep it under wraps to ensure big box office success. 

Cade always disliked the spotlight, preferring to focus on the work, but coupled with the ruthless stalking of rabid paparazzi, the secrecy forced upon his new and fragile relationship, and the vindictive games of others, celebrity status turns into a curse.

Can the roller coaster of emotions bring them closer still, or will jealousy and distance rip them apart forever?

Kahlen Aymes turns up the heat and cranks up the angst in FAMOUS Novel Two; the continuation of Cade and Brook's incredible love story... Because there's more to fame than meets the eye.

ADD TO GOODREADS


I was SO anxious to finally get this book.....I absolutely love Brook and Cade and the love they have for each other is beautiful. Famous (FREE!!) was one of my favorite books this year. No drama, just angsty, sexy goodness. This series is following The Remembrance Trilogy as actors portraying Ryan and Julia, and I am loving following the journey of Cade and Brook, but also remembering the trilogy that I read so long ago and how I came to love Kahlen's writing style and stories. Her writing makes you yearn for more....you can't help but hope for more.

More Than Famous was the second installment providing some character growth and drama to the series, along with a whole batch of misunderstandings. Kahlen, ONCE AGAIN, mastered the love scenes between these two. Cade and Brook connected on every level and it was always a very emotional coming together (pun intended? maybe). Cade always said the right thing....so sensual and so swoony. I loved the way he loved her. LOVED it. He was so rough and tough on the outside, but so tender and loving on the inside. Very emotionally attached to Brook. They loved each other, they got each other and they read each other....it was truly a love worth fighting for. I really enjoyed that side of the story and love how they grew from their problems and showed a united front when they came together.

~He was everything. I was everything. We were everything. Just--everything. ~

Having said that, I need to be honest when I say this: the added drama and misunderstandings provided, for ME, some turbulence in my reading. While I LOVE Kahlen's style of writing and the angst in her books, this one did the opposite for me. This pains me greatly, because Kahlen is one of my favorite authors. I was not enjoying their drama in this book. I found myself angry at their immaturity and quickness to blame each other when something happened, especially when they should have understood and KNOWN the depth of their love for each other. They claim to know it, and then something happens and it get's blown out of proportion. Cade was also overly emotional for me and completely different than what we normally see in Kahlen's male characters. It was really hard to feel this knowing how much I am loving Cade and Brook's story.

~I know, I feel like I'm dying. But if we didnt love each other so much, it wouldn't hurt like this."

Make no mistake though, even with the discord I felt, I must say that this was a necessary chapter in their lives, and one they needed to go through, so I won't doubt Kahlen will take care of us and give Cade and Brook the amazing ending they so deserve. In Cade and Brook, you can just feel the love between them and know that they have found the ONE that does it for them. I would still easily recommend this book, it was just a really hard book for me to get through.

~I wanted to look at her, savor her, make every touch last.~

~CD Reiss~
CD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, whichwas buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did embed TV story structure in her head well enough for her to take a big risk on a TV series structured erotic series called Songs of Submission. It’s about a kinky billionaire hung up on his ex-­wife, an ingenue singer with a wisecracking mouth; art, music and sin in the city of Los Angeles.

Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to give the toilets a once­over every couple of weeks or chop a cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

 From the New York Times bestselling author of Stepbrother Dearest, comes a new forbidden STANDALONE romance.

What happens when the one you want is the only one you can’t have?

My name is Sevin.

Homeschooled and sheltered by my ultra­religious family, I was always taught that lust was a sin.

Elle was the girl who’d been carefully chosen for me.

After a long-­distance courtship, I’d be moving into her family’s guesthouse so that we could get to know each other in the months before the wedding.

Boundaries were set: no inappropriate touching, no kissing, no sex before marriage.

I’d accepted those rules and my fate.

Until I met the one I wanted to sin with.

That was when restraint became a problem...especially since the one wasn’t Elle.

It was her sister, Evangeline.

You know what they say about best laid plans.

My name is Sevin, and I have sinned.

Told in alternating points of view, Sins of Sevin is a full-­length standalone novel. Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. Only appropriate for adult readers age 18+.

            I lifted her chin with my fingers and held her in place, so our eyes met. I noticed her lids were hooded and her eyes dilated with sensual need. “You are my definition of perfection. Don’t ever forget that.” I whispered against her lips, waiting for a response.
If Id ever had any doubt as to her submissiveness, it was laid to rest with her quiet, Yes, sir.  Two simple words, but they meant everything to me.
Our mouths melded together, engaging in a passionate dance. Her tongue caressed my lips, and my teeth nipped hers, each of us begging to be inside the other.  My lips blazed a trail down her neck, nipping at the juncture of her shoulder.  A soft moan escaped her throat, her fingers clenched my shoulders, and she unconsciously rocked her hips against my thighs, making me harden beneath her.  Dont forget this is about her tonight, not you.  You need to gain her trust, so she knows you have her best interest at heart.
I brought one hand up to gently brush across one of her breasts, feeling her hardened nipple through the fabric.  The other traveled up her inner thigh to rest against her center.  I could feel the heat radiating off of her lace panties, which were soaked with her arousal.  The scent was starting to permeate the air and forever burning a place within my heart and mind. 
I slowly ran a finger along the edge of her panties, but was met with a slap to my arm.  Her words were breathy, barely audible, as her head shook.  I cant Rafe.  You promised wed go slow.
I held her close to me and gently bit her nipple through her clothes. Her eyes closed, then she threw her head back, my name expressed in a sensual moan that had me so hard I was afraid there would be a permanent imprint of the zipper on my dick.  My mouth moved slowly up her jaw line and to her mouth, where I tugged on her lower lip with my teeth, teasing it. Make no mistake, bella.  I. Want. You.  But tonight is all about your pleasure, not mine.  Let me show you what it can be like with me. Let me give you both pleasure and pain. Together, they elicit orgasms that have to be experienced to believe. I promise to take nothing for myself, only giving you the satisfaction that you desirethat you deserve.  Please, may I show you what its like to be mine?
My hand moved higher on her inner thigh, massaging circles into her skin, as I spoke.  When I reached her drenched center, I rubbed the heel of my hand against her mound to emphasize my point.  Say no and well stop right now. Ill return you to your hotel, no harm no foul.  What will it be, mi amore?
She trembled and shifted closer, an impassioned, Yes! was her only response. 
I thrust my tongue into her mouth, devouring every inch of it, demonstrating what Id love to do with her in bed. My fingers found their way under the saturated lace of her panties and caressed her warm, slick folds. 
I stroked from her clit to her entrance once, twice, and elicited a sweet moan from her lips.  Thats it, bella.  Feel me, my touch, focus on this moment, and allow the pleasure to fill you. 
Dawns body relaxed into mine, my fingers moved further down to her soaked center.  Her smell was intoxicating.  A gentle hint of lavender mixed with the subtly of cherries.    It was all I could do not to rip open my pants and shove deep inside her.  My cock had other ideas, but tonight would be about gaining her trust, show her I was a man of my word.  Id give her pleasure beyond her wildest dreams, but Id leave her craving moreneeding me.
My teeth nipped at that oh so tender spot just behind a womans ear that drove everyone nuts, including Dawn.  I slipped one finger into her center, as my thumb smoothed over her hardened nub, causing her to rock hard against my hand.  I knew there was a little minx in there somewhere.  Now I just need to coax it to the surface and encourage it to explore. 
Her core was tight, hot, and needy.  Her vaginal walls clamped down hard on my finger, sucking me inside.  I rimmed her core, trying to stretch her with each pass until I was finally able to push in another finger.  Shed be hell on my dick, so tight I wouldnt even last a second.  God, she felt good. 
Dawn began riding my hand. My thumb circled her distended clit, and my fingers sought out the bundle of nerves inside that would make her explode in my arms.  Her breathing became erratic and soft whimpers escaped her lips as her walls began to flutter against my fingers. 
This is your first lesson in discipline, mia bella angelo.  You will not come until I tell you.  Her body became stiff as she tensed.  She scrunched her eyes and panted in an attempt to keep herself from coming apart in my arms.  I wouldnt torture her for long. 
I kept up my ministrations, as she whimpered and fought to control her body.  Her scent, her movements, everything about her solidified it was only her that I needed. And I needed her here, with me.
Her fingers began to dig into my shoulders, signaling it was time to watch my woman come for the first time.  My fingers moved in and out of her moist heat at a brutal pace. My thumb pressed firmly against her clit, I whispered against her neck, Come for me, mi amore, and my fingers curved inward to press against her g-spot.  Her body began to quake in my arms and my mouth covered hers, swallowing her cry of ecstasy.
