—REVIEW: 5 STARS
AJ Renee has quickly become one of those authors whose books I will automatically one-click and read because I know to expect a great story! ALWAYS MINE had a passionate, second-chance romance mixed in with a creepy, suspenseful aspect and amazing characters! 

“Lindsey, it’s always been you."

Marc...ever since his character got introduced in book 1, I was curious to know more about him. I wanted to know what the heck had happened between him and Lindsey. Well let me tell ya, I was not disappointed! 

Marc was Lindsey's older brother's best friend and ever since they were young, he was protective of her and truthfully, he loved her. Fast forward to YEARS later, fate brought them face to face unexpectedly. 

While Lindsey tried keeping Marc at arm's length by denying their attraction and intense chemistry, the danger--the CREEPY danger-- surrounding her only brought them closer. Marc was not about to leave her unprotected. No way, no how. 

The whole stalker situation going on throughout the book had me feeling uneasy and creeped out while reading. Gah! I wouldn't not be able to sleep if the things that happened to Lindsey happened to me! Ack! Ew, no! Very well written and developed! It made this book a page-turner for me even more! I was beyond curious to know who did it! 

From amazing characters to a must-read plot, ALWAYS MINE was a solid five-star book for me and one I strongly suggest you one-click. AJ Renee is an author you must not miss out on!!

“Tu casa es mi casa,” he said with his most charming smile as he took in her short, beautiful legs.

Bending forward, she gave him the best view in the house, and he nearly swallowed his tongue. Her head turned enticingly toward him, her dark brown hair falling to the other side as she rolled her eyes at him.

“Um, isn’t the saying supposed to be ‘Mi casa es tu casa’?” She snickered and straightened as she turned away.

Reaching forward before his mind could stop him, Marc gently grabbed her wrist and gave her a tug. She fell into his lap with an “oof,” and she stared at him in panic. Marc pulled her incredibly soft legs over his own, so she sat sideways. With the new position, she placed her hand on his shoulder for purchase.

“Marc?” Her breathy voice shook with confusion and anticipation.

Hearing his name roll off her lips made his blood rush straight to his groin. Her eyes widened and darkened with desire at the change.

“Si, mi cielo?” Marc’s gaze moved down to her lips. Heat flooded his body, his heart took off, and he became mesmerized by the way she pulled in her lower lip and bit down hard. A groan escaped him, and he pulled the tender flesh out of her mouth with his thumb. Marc rubbed the rosy, soft skin.

When Marc leaned forward, Lindsey asked, “What are you doing?”

Examining her face, he noticed the soft blush across her fair skin. Her light brown eyes had flecks of yellow and green, something no one would notice unless they were as close or as focused as he was. The idea of anyone else being this close to her made him crazy. A faint scar an inch long marred the delicate skin under her left eye. Most wouldn’t notice that either, but he’d been there the night she got it. His thumb swiped at it as the memory of her bumping into him as a kid while they played Ghosts in the Graveyard came to mind. Her glasses had slammed into her face, creating a gash that had luckily not required stitches.

Marc’s lips came within a breath of hers. He searched her eyes for any signs of distress and found none. His lips grazed hers at the same time a door closed in the hall.

#CoverReveal +#PreOrder: CRAVE by Dani René #DarkRomance

CRAVE by Dani René 
Forbidden Series Book #1
Dark Romance
— SYNOPSIS —
Samael
Can love overcome hate?

When I first laid eyes on the perfect little blonde, I didn’t think she’d change my life. 
But the first time I tasted her, felt her, took her, I knew she was mine. 
I laid a wordless claim because as much as I desired her, I couldn’t have her.

I craved the dark, she filled me with light.
I loved delivering pain, she craved it.

Opposites merged by circumstance.
Hearts melded by passion.

Angel
Can light defeat darkness?

I should have feared him. 
Everything about him was drenched in the darkness he exuded. 

But one glance into his cobalt eyes, and I knew I was his. 
My heart allowed him entry, as did my body. And after the first time, my soul recognized his.
Desired what he delivered.

I craved his darkness, he bathed in my light.
I submitted to his desires, he craved my very being.

Running from him wasn’t an option.
Fate bound us in its intricate pattern.

— ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dani René —
Hey darlings,
I am an indie author and freelance graphic designer. I started focusing on writing in January 2015 and after a few fan fiction stories, I decided to publish Ace of Harts it was my first full length novella. On a daily basis I have a few hundred characters, storylines, and ideas floating around in my mind. If I am not on Pinterest or Instagram looking for my next muse, you can find me on Twitter or Facebook. So head on over, I love meeting new readers and authors.

When I am in the cave, I am happiest. If you can’t find me sitting behind my trusty MacBook writing about hot alpha males, I am probably drinking coffee at a coffee shop, or wine tasting one of the few hundred wine farms in my home city of Cape Town, in South Africa.

I have an addiction to reading (who doesn’t?), TV series, music, tattoos, chocolate, and ice cream. I am constantly looking for a new book to get lost in and new book boyfriend to fall in love with. My favorite authors include – M Never, K Webster, KL Kreig, Meghan March, and that’s just to name a few!

Much love xo

The Hitchhiker by Charlie Lee #BookReview

Title: THE HITCHHIKER
Author: Charlie Lee
Genre: Romantic Suspense

"You can run, but can you hide?"

Life was perfect. 

I was on top of the world winning one case after the other leaving no survivors in the wake of my devastation. They may see a pair of long legs in Louboutin heels, but remember my name when I'm finished with them.

Caitlin Winslow, the best, cut-throat defense lawyer in California. 

I never play to lose. 
It's not in my DNA.
The actions of ethics don't exist in my domain.

Satan, my father, who shaped my life turns up dead. Kill shot to the back of the head in his sleep. The people who murdered him aren't stopping with his death. They're after me.

I ran in the dark of night. Karma that evil bitch meets me step by step and forced me to stick out my thumb on the side of the lonely highway. I'm now the HITCHHIKER begging for redemption.

Oh, how life has a funny way of smacking you in the face.

Katch Sterling storms into my life, and now I'm in his car.

Broody.
Dark.
All-man
My complete opposite.
Who would've thought my world would come full circle on that lonely highway with a hired killer...

REVIEW: 5 STARS
First off, this is a romantic suspense that leans towards the darker storylines, so consider this a slight warning (although it is NOT a dark romance). The Hitchhiker's plot is NOT all sweet and soft so yes, there are f-bombs and yes, Katch and Caitlin's relationship is not heart and flowers either. There are things that will most likely make some readers cringe, and I understand why. But I also feel that if readers truly understand WHO Katch is, then they know why he did certain things he did in the beginning. He had ONE job. One. Protect Caitlin. Not fall in love with her. So yes, he tried REALLY HARD to deny his attraction to her and he tried getting her out of his system the only way he knew how. 

Now, his efforts didn't work and frankly, neither did Caitlin's to deny her attraction to him. The very sticky situation they found themselves in only made staying away from each other even harder. Actually, it made it impossible. 

See, Caitlin's dad was murdered and while that was a good thing seeing as he was a horrible man, now Caitlin was in danger. Upon running, she headed to the one person she trusted to keep her safe...her cousin Curtis. Through his MC, she knew she'd be okay but little did she know, Curtis would assign a non-member to protect her. A ruthless man he trusted with his own life...Katch. So basically, Katch and Caitlin were stuck together, regardless of how they felt about it. 

Then, the story took life. They were all on a mission to find out the TRUTH. The truth behind Caitlin's dad's murder, behind her mom's death, and the truth behind Caitlin's situation. Boy, were there a lot of surprises along the way as the plot started developing which I won't get into of course!! Do know I was all-kinds of excited reading and was curious to see what else could possibly happen! 

Angst, drama, twists and turns, and of course some insanely hot scenes made this one heck of a great debut for Charlie Lee! A must read!

** ADULT CONTENT WARNING **
We don’t have a thing in common, and yet here I sit, turning my car around after she begged me to please take her to the Starbucks we just passed. What the hell is wrong with me? I have no clue what it is about her that has me tied up in knots I can’t slip out of. If I don’t tone my shit down now, she’ll be pulling me along from the rope attached to my dick.
“Welcome to Starbucks, may I take your order?”
“Get your ass over here and tell her what you want,” I instruct.
“Quit being so bossy.” I’m about ready to show her how bossy I can be when she unfastens her seatbelt, hangs half her body over the bench seat with her palms planted on the leather console, and gives me a view of her tits.
Fuck me. Her cleavage is spilling out of her black lace bra. Her fucking tits are perfect, and if I have anything to say about it, it won’t be long before they are in my mouth and my dick is sliding in between them. My cum would make the perfect fucking necklace right under her face.
“Um. You can pull up now,” she says, eyeing me with her tell-all eyes. She knew exactly what I was doing, and she instigated it.
I am so fucked when her luscious lips quirk up into a devious smile. Damn her.
“You pull a stunt like that again, and I won’t hesitate to rip that shirt off of you.”
“I’d like to see you try,” she challenges.
I don’t reply, not until I pull up and pay the lady who shakily takes the money out of my hand without looking at me.
Caitlin starts laughing her cute little ass off when I hand her coffee and tuck the change in my pocket.
“What the fuck you laughing at now?”
“You. That lady heard everything you said. I’m sure of it.”
“I don’t give a shit. What I do give a shit about is you flashing me your tits. You keep that shit up, and I’m skipping Target. Taking you to my place and cuffing you to my bed. I’ll fuck those giggles right out of you and won’t stop until you’re raw and passed out. Now, drink that shit.”
Hollywood clutches the cup of coffee in one hand while the other stays planted on the leather bench seat. Her tongue darts out licking her bottom lip. She’s fucking feeling me as much as I am her. We both want to fucking ravage each other, that much is clear. It’s fucked up and a mystery that I can’t even start to solve.
Her bottom lip is glistening with the wetness of her mouth. Yeah. I’m fucking that, too. I suddenly have a powerful urge to taste her, but hell if I’ll reward her fucking little stunt. I run the pad of my thumb along her bottom lip, soaking up her taste. Caitlin freezes at my touch. Her breath hitches. She stares at me, waiting for my next move. Slowly and without breaking eye contact, I bring my thumb to my mouth and taste her.
It’s gut instinct when my eyes close and I fight to keep in a moan. The sweetest of sweet tastes glides over my taste buds. Big mistake. I lean down and finally open my eyes with my forearm brushing up against her tits and whisper over her lips.
“Remember my fucking promise.” I pause for a beat. “Because it will happen.”
I sit back down in the driver’s seat not looking back over to the woman who has my dick straining painfully against my zipper. The thought of one layer between us doesn’t help fucking matters, so I focus on the road ahead.
Caitlin sits quietly in her seat on the short drive. She sips her coffee, and I’d bet a fucking ton of money she’s wet as hell, dying for some friction between her long fucking legs. Again, not one thought helps my hard dick calm down.
I kill the engine and go to step out of the car.
“Money.” Caitlin looks over to me. “ I need money.”
“Get the fuck out, Hollywood.”
When she listens and doesn’t resort to her arguing, I know I have her strung taut with the need to be fucked properly. Guarantee the stuffy suits have never taken this woman the way I will.
