Blog Tour: I Need You Always by Cynthia P. O'Neill



 I NEED YOU ALWAYS 
Author: Cynthia P. O'Neill 
Series: Need, Book #1
Genre: Contemporary/Erotic Romance
~ SYNOPSIS ~
Dane Prescott flew all over the world for his family’s business, partying at every turn and avoiding taking the reigns of his father’s company, until tragedy strikes. 

He feels lost until he sees her…

Marissa Lawson couldn’t wait to graduate college, going from intern to employee at the company she works for until one of her peer’s stole her ideas and job offer.

Everything around her begins to unravel until a controlling kiss from a handsome stranger, leaves her breathless and seeking to transform her life. 

Her luck changes when she’s offered a new position to work with the boss’s son; her stranger!

Marissa wants to focus on her career, but Dane wants to dominate her; mixing business with pleasure. Every touch tempts her to submit to his desires. 

Can she hold up to the control he craves in life, especially in love? Can she let go of her own hang-ups and submit to him?

Only time will tell if she can be everything he Needs!




~ 4 STARS ~

Dane was a playboy who had everything he ever wanted at his disposal. He had a job at his father’s very successful company which allowed him to travel to gorgeous locations, and he most certainly had money. He was happy. He had everything he could ever need. And then, tragedy struck him in a way he couldn’t seem to recover from. He had suffered a loss that made him feel incomplete…empty.

Until Marissa.

Marissa was excited to be graduating college. She expected to get a job at the company she interned in, but those plans went downhill when a co-worker stole her ideas. Marissa’s life started to crumble around her… All her plans? Gone out the window. Devastated, heartbroken, and worried, Marissa was not expecting what happened next. One chance encounter changed her life in more ways than she could have ever imagined…or hoped for. A new job offer lead to a completely new life for her.

Life had a funny way of working out. Cynthia P. O’Neill threw in a few surprises and curveballs throughout the storyline. I really enjoyed seeing how all the little details in the book came full circled…how all my questions got answered. And let’s just say, Marissa came out of her shell. She and Dane were just what each other needed. They made each other complete. All in all this was a good book AND there were some very steamy scenes for those of you that love a hot romance! 
4 Stars!






He pulled my underwear aside and slowly wiggled it into the hard nubbin of my clit.  Internally I laughed at the idea of a small piece of rubbery plastic getting me off.  I shouldn’t have laughed, because the next thing I felt was an intense sensation buzzing against my hard nubbin and feeling the onset of a climax beginning to escalate to magnificent proportions.  I started to squirm and moan all over the place, as he pressed one finger just inside my center and curled it toward my g-spot, placing just enough pressure to set me off like a firework ready to explode.  I couldn’t help but scream out, “Oh, Sir.  Oh, Dane!” 
He stopped the vibrator and asked if I’d like him to bring it home with us, since opening it made him purchase it.  “Well, you bought it; you might as well use it.” 
I know my reply was smug, but the look of desire that spread across his face was overwhelming.  He was definitely the predator and I was the prey, ready to learn.  Sir, please lead the way!


~ Cynthia P. O'Neill ~ 

I grew up in a small town in South Florida called Clewiston and moved to Central Florida to attend college. I married my friend, love, and soul mate and still reside in the area with our amazing son, and a feisty, four-legged little doggie boy.

In my books, I draw on my background in healthcare, business, and science, along with my husband's engineering and wireless technology knowledge.
I currently write on all levels of Romance. The Learning Series is for those who like a little more steam with their books, falling into the categories of Contemporary and verging on Erotica, with a hint of Suspense. The Remembrance Series encompasses Young Adult, with a touch of Paranormal activity and a hint of Historical romance. A new contemporary romance series is underway, called Need. It will be different than the others, because each book will focus on a new couple, while all of the characters will still have a large presence throughout the series.

I try to make my writing very personal and close to her heart. Regular life is the inspiration for my books, but I'm only limited by imagination taking ideas to new heights, opening up possibilities that would normally not exist.

On a more personal note...I love to cook and create in the kitchen and on the bbq grill. I sometimes lose myself in a song at the piano. I often sing with my son while we are driving or making dinner together. I enjoy crafts (flower arranging, making wreaths, painting pottery, needle point and drawing in pencil and charcoals). My music tastes are eclectic at best, ranging from classical piano to hard rock/heavy metal. It all depends on the song, group, and if it has a good beat or is a soulful ballad.

Release Day Blitz: Scarred by Vengeance by Valia Lind


SCARRED BY VENGEANCE
Author: Valia Lind
Series: Titanium #2
Genre: YA Thriller
~ SYNOPSIS ~
This is the mission: Save. Protect. Destroy. 

Everything in Anastasia’s world came crashing down when the one person she decided to trust failed her. On the run, now more than ever, she’s trying to piece together the life she doesn’t remember. With Blake still missing, she sends the rest of the family away, hoping to keep them out of danger. But being alone is a lot harder than it used to be and she blames herself for allowing Logan into her heart. He’s gone now and she must let him go. Even though her perfect memory continues to play out the time they’ve spent together, much like a broken record. 

But Anastasia has no time to dwell on the mistakes of yesterday; her mission isn’t over. Kallos Enterprises continue their experiments, as the death rate goes up, and Anastasia has no choice but to fight. However, she’s not as cold blooded as she used to be and that proves to be a problem when the people she cares about are once again put in danger. With her strength—and memory—failing and Blake’s time running out, Anastasia must tap into parts of herself she never knew existed, hoping that in the end, it will be enough to save them all.



I try to stay off the grid. The run down hotel I’m at right now has no Wi Fi, no cable TV, no computers in the lobby. I paid cash and they let me chose a room on the other side of the building, away from the front. 

I had to leave Chicago, even for a little bit. I didn’t go far, but the pressure of the big city was getting to me. I felt like I was being watched on every corner. At least here, I can hide away until my wounds have stopped bleeding. 

I lay down on the bed, stretching out my sore muscles. It’s been three days. 

I should be better by now. 

I should be getting back to work. 

I should be hunting those bastards down. 

But I can barely breathe without my ribs protesting in pain. I hate feeling this helpless. The ever present rage within me burns hotter and hotter. Each passing moment, my mind runs over all the ways I’ll make Foster pay.

Welcome back to the Block, where your neighbors are MMA competitors and your favorite investigator is still busy as hell. Round two of The Fighter’s Block is about to begin… 

Consumed by questions he can’t answer and a childhood he barely remembers, Cole spends his time working cases for others instead. His skills are in high demand and he stays focused on whatever assignment he takes on, but the truth is, his past will always be there to haunt him.

Title: The Fighter's Block, Donovan
Series: The Fighter's Block, #1
Author: Hadley Quinn
~ SYNOPSIS ~
The entire fourth floor of Donovan Kemp's apartment complex houses only MMA fighters, dubbing it "The Fighter's Block." Growing up in an abusive home put Van on the fast track to nowhere, but a caring fight club owner took him under his wing as a teen and shaped him into a fighter with integrity. 

Now in his mid-twenties, his life changes dramatically when he steps in to help a beautiful girl in a scary situation with her boyfriend. Surprising to Van, she ends up going home with him. He's now on the fast track to something else: falling in love. He feels that Danielle is the type of girl that he could only dream about, but the two quickly fall hard for each other in equal measure. 

When the ex boyfriend proves to be nothing but trouble, Van has a tough time deciding between protecting Dani with legal measures or just bashing the guy's face in himself. The harassment escalates, eventually pulling Dani and Van apart, and Van finds himself feeling desperate enough to do something drastic. 

If being thrown in jail isn't bad enough for Van, an undercover investigator seems to be getting a little too close to Dani, the fight club he grew up in could be turned upside down with scandal, and the friends that he trusts with his life might not be who they say they are. 

So much for finally discovering the little morsel of happiness he'd been deprived of his entire life...
