Blog Tour: FORBIDDEN by Danielle Jamie

Spring Break 2015 was supposed to be spent lying on the white sand beaches of Mexico sipping fruity cocktails with my friends and my boyfriend, Heath. Instead I found myself single and flying back home to San Francisco to spend it with my mother, her new boyfriend and his son, Linc.

Linc, or as my friends like to call him ‘Forbidden,' is my future stepbrother and the one person who gets under my skin unlike anyone else.

We call him Forbidden because, like the fruit in The Garden of Eden, Linc is tempting and completely untouchable.

I've hated the arrogant jerk for as long as I can remember. But a week alone together, followed by a drunken bet, leads me onto a path that once taken...there is no turning back.

“Fuck. The things I want to do to you,” he murmurs as his hands work their way back up to my face.

This whole seducing thing is working out even faster than I thought.

I keep my grip on my towel as I continue to pull on Linc’s shirt with my other hand, yanking him to me. “Like what?” I ask seductively.

He lets out another low growl as his eyes burn into mine. “I’m not sure you can handle me, Spitfire. Once I start, I don’t stop—so you better think long and hard about what you’re asking me.”

Holy. Fuck.

I think my towel is most certainly soaking wet from how turned on I am right now. Linc has to be the hottest, most irresistible asshole I’ve ever met. He’s cocky as fuck, but he has the dick and the reputation to back it up.

The feel of his lips on my skin short circuits my brain momentarily as they kiss a path from my right breast to my left. It feels like hot pokers branding my skin with every press of his lips against my flesh.

“Mmmm.” A soft moan leaves my lips as he rocks his hips in between my legs, teasing my clit with the hard roughness of his cock pressing against his jeans.

Nipping at my skin, he whispers, “Your body is screaming to be fucked, Raven. But I won’t touch you until you tell me with that spitfire mouth of your that you want me to fuck you.”

Danielle Jamie is an author I adore and am never disappointed. Forbidden is another triumph. This is novella length but unlike some, does manage, successfully, to have a complete story. And what a hot and steamy story it is. Linc or Forbidden is hot and sexy but unfortunately is a prat. I still loved him though because author Danielle Jamie wrote some glimpses of a softer side to him. Raven is strong, certainly feisty, (when she flashed at Forbidden + his friends) and is really likeable.

This book made me scream, about, laugh and shout a bit more but was totally awesome and I loved every word! Thanks Danielle Jamie for writing books I love. Well done - you are fabulous!!

Review

Sometimes I just have to say a huge thank you for the invention of social media. Without it I am very sure that I wouldn't have been in contact with the amazing two authors who wrote this magnificent debut novel! I loved this book from the very start. The characters were so real and really reminded me of my school days. I thought the introduction to the characters at the beginning of the story really helped to set the scene and tone for the rest of the book!! I'm sure most of us girls can see bits of ourselves in Kaitlyn, her clumsiness, her trust in others and her determination are characteristics I love in a female lead. And oh Brody, he is adorable who wouldn't want to date him or have their daughter date him. He is particularly swoon worthy! The camaraderie between the group including Kaitlyn's twin brother and best friend is the comical side of the story especially the poison plant scenes! However, all is not perfect in their world, thanks to Pistol Kaitlyn's boyfriend. Put it this way he doesn't like being turned down!!!!  In fact he puts their lives at risk more than once. It is the suspense that he brings which elevates this from a good N/A book to an AMAZING N/A book. Julie and Tracy you have done a wonderful job writing this book and I thank you for trusting me to review it. I really am looking forward to building our friendship and reading more in this series. I award this book 5* ~Rosie

Review

I came into this book blind, not knowing much about the author or the storyline, and I believe this enhanced my enjoyment of the book as I had no preconceived ideas as to what to expect. I loved that this book is written by an English author and is set in England. As a reader from the UK and having visited some of the places mentioned I was able to visualize the settings and enjoy them all the more. I also loved the little UKisms that appeared, such as the mention of Stacy Solomon, this was hilarious. Isobel and Marc are wonderful characters. Characters slightly older than I normally read about, but this met they had lived more so their characters had more depth to them. The sexual chemistry between them both was electric but their connection intellectually was also present. I loved the mix of suspense and romance which I hope will develop even further in the next book, which I am greatly looking forward to! I award this book 4 stars ~ Rosie

Can Marc and Isabel continue to share the passion and thrills they have for one another? Or will the demons from their pasts and present get the better of them?

Let A Constant Attraction take you on an emotional journey of compassion, anger, laughter, lust and love…

Review

After enjoying Acute Attraction so much I was looking forward to reading Constant Attraction, and I have to say I was certainly not disappointed. In fact, I think ithis book is even better than the first. The storyline picked up immediately where book one finished, and, in my opinion, you must read them in order, to get the best from them. Marc and Isabel have fallen deeper for each other, but Marc's past is beginning to cause them issues. This is what brings the suspense element to the story, and is what elevates the book from a 3 star read to a 5 star read. The characters are so relatable, Isabel isn't a tiny model like woman, she is curvaceous and insecure, like the majority of us women. Marc is super hot, but doesn't strutting around like a pimping peacock, he is humble and gentlemanly. As in book one the English scenery won me over. I really enjoyed this book and award it 5* and am already looking forward to more from this author!!

Review

This book takes us in a different direction character wise that the first two books. Here we meet, and in my case, love, Christian who is Marc's stepbrother the black sheep of the family. However in this book we see him proving time and time again how he is a reformed character. Hannah is one of the strongest women character I have read about - not many women make it where she has in the police. When her and Christian are together we can see the instant connection, the passion. However, lots of things get in there way. I have to say that they are certainly better together. I enjoyed how we met back with Marc and Isabel and saw their lives a little further down the road. 

I am delighted to have connected with this wonderful author and I look forward to more from her in the future. I award this book 5 stars~ Rosie

Author Bio

A J Walters is a new contemporary romance author and an Amazon #1 Bestseller in Women’s Fiction. Having interests in history, romance and elements of erotica, she has brought all of these together in her debut publications; The Attraction Series.

Wanting to break the trend of size 12 virgins in books, A J Walters has introduced a new real woman in Isabel Chambers. She’s a size 18-20, working single mother who now feels is it her time to start living her life again. At the ripe young age of 39 (at time of writing 1st book), A J Walters also wanted to show that you can experience everything that a twenty-something would.

“I saw that a 39 year old isn’t quite at retirement age for fun, sex and finding love again. There are so many women out there that can be represented in books as well as the slim, innocent and beautiful types. Don’t get me wrong I love reading books with them in, but there is so many of them around now I felt is was time for something different. I’d like to think I brought my sense of humour across in it as well. I am ditsy, I suffer from ‘foot in mouth’ syndrome, but I can also be serious and sentimental. From the feedback I’ve had, apparently it makes for a great writing voice.”

A J Walters has since gone on to publish 2 books in The Attraction Series; An Acute Attraction and A Constant Attraction. There is a 3rd book in the pipeline, which is expected to be published in January 2015. As well as writing this series of books, she has also written a short story for a summer anthology and an Amazon #1 Bestseller in Lust, Love, Dreams and Heartache: A book of romantic and erotic poetry.

Cover Reveal: KANE (A Slater Brothers Novel) by L.A. Casey

Title: Kane
Series: Slater Brothers (#3)
Author: L.A. Casey
Cover Design: Mayhem Cover Creations
Releasing: May 5th

Aideen Collins is a free spirit. She is outspoken and tough as nails, but she has to be after growing up in a house full of men. Family means everything to Aideen. Her family consists of her four brothers, her father, and her group of wild friends. Aideen is protective of her family, there is not a lot she wouldn’t do to keep them safe.

Kane Slater is a tortured soul. Literally. He is misunderstood by people, even feared by them thanks to the scars that mar his face and body. He relishes in their fear because people who fear you, won’t want to know you. He likes his circle limited to his brothers and their girlfriends, but a thorn from an Irish rose is dug deep into Kane’s side, and her name is Aideen Collins.

Aideen and Kane don’t get along… at all. Aideen is the only woman who stands up to Kane and throws his bullshit back at him without fear of hurting him. Kane is the only man who can see right through Aideen's tough exterior. He knows her deepest, and darkest secrets. They can’t stand each other, but they want each other. Badly. They hide their need behind arguments, and banter, but when Kane drops his guard for all to see, and succumbs to an illness within his body, it’s Aideen who steps up to the plate to take care of him.

An illness is the least of their worries when a devil from Kane’s past comes back to play with him. Everybody in Kane’s life is threatened, and with his body fighting against him, he doesn’t know if the luck of the Irish is enough to keep his family safe and his demons at bay.

Kane needs Aideen, and what Kane needs, Kane takes.

“I broke a nail!” I screamed as pain shot up my finger.
“No!” Kane cried.
Multiple footsteps pounded down the hallway and then bodies burst into Kane’s bedroom. “What?” All his brothers hollered as they piled through the doorway.
Kane pointed a trembling hand at me. “Her nail! She broke her nail!”
With a perplexed look I looked at Kane then to the brothers who all gasped and flung their hands over their mouths. They all gripped onto furniture, or onto one another to stay upright.
I was so confused. I had no fucking idea what was going on.
None.
“Your nail?” Alec screeched.
Nico placed his hands on the side of his head and shook it from side to side. “Anything but your nail!”
Ryder rushed over to me and grabbed the hand I was cradling and thoroughly examined it, and when he saw confirmation that my nail was gone, he whimpered. “It’s gone. Gone forever!”
“No!” Kane wailed, fell back onto his bed, and flung his arms over his face. “Why did it have to her nail? Why, God? WHY?”
I glared at Kane, then his brothers.
The bastards were taking the piss out of me, and my broken nail.
“I hate you all.” I said then turned and walked out of the room.
I made it half way down the stairs before I heard the eruption of belly rumbling male laughter, and even though it pleased me greatly that they were smiling again, I hated that it was at my expense.
“Bloody brothers,” I grumbled.
