New Release: Virtue & Vice



Virtue & Vice by Phoebe Alexander


Series: Spicetopia; Book 2
Genre: Interracial Erotic BDSM Romance



Who says denying your vices is a virtue?
Screw that person. Literally.

The creators of Spicetopia know adulting is hard. Bills. Mortgages. Parenting. Estate planning. Sometimes you just need to kick back and indulge your inner kid — except now that inner kid has grown-up tastes.

Two couples set out to create a world of adult fun in a slice of paradise called Spicetopia. Cy and Jolie have experience from the kids’ theme park Cy’s family owns. Moon and Katja bring technical and architectural expertise to the table. Can these four work together and build their dream world — while having plenty of adult fun along the way? Or will their dream end up being flushed right down the toilet?

Virtue & Vice is Book 2 in the Spicetopia series. Though these sweet and spicy books can be read in any order, we recommend you read Book 1, Sugar & Spice first. You can find it in the Sweetest Obsessions boxed set or in paperback.

Pre-Order Now: Breakaway by Elise Faber

It was hate at first sight…
Breakaway by Elise Faber releases on September 15th!
It was hate at first sight. Just not for Blue. He’d loved what he’d seen. Tall and thin with long blond hair and gorgeous blue eyes, Anna Hayes was absolutely beautiful. She also wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. As a professional hockey player, that was a rare thing for Blue Anderson. He was young, rich, good looking, and in the best shape of his life. He wouldn’t say he had to beat women off with a stick, but . . . maybe he had to brush them off with a broom. Still, bad puns aside, the truth was Blue didn’t have any trouble finding someone—or someones—to share his bed. Except Anna. Never beautiful Anna with the razor-sharp wit and seriously dirty mouth. Despite his appreciation for her model good looks, Blue knew when to stay away. And his plan was to remain far far away from the woman who never failed to roast him within an inch of his life. He wanted someone nice, not a woman who’d barbecue his balls off. But then Blue did something stupid—something that felt incredible, but was also incredibly stupid. He kissed prickly, gorgeous Anna Hayes. And every one of his carefully laid plans went right out the window.
About the Author: USA Today bestselling author, Elise Faber, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team — the Sharks! — are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise is the mom to two exuberant boys and lives in Northern California. Connect with her in her Facebook group, the Fabinators or find more information about her books at www.elisefaber.com.

Books-On-Tour: My Name is Eva

Let’s get one thing straight.

This. Is. An. Amazing. Book.

The story grabbed me from the very beginning and did not let me go until the very last word. I cannot remember the last time a book had me so enthralled.

It is apparent right away that there is much more to Evelyn Taylor-Clarke (Mrs. T-C to the workers at the home she resides in) than meets the eye. From the moment that she fills in her first crossword puzzle, the reader knows that she has led a fascinating life.

The book has eleven “Parts,” with each section describing a segment of Mrs. T-C’s life. The chapters within the parts alternate between letters to her husband and the action taking place at the time. The time-shifting jumps around quite a bit; it is not entirely linear. But the author treats this with a deft hand, and I never felt lost. It made the reading that much more interesting because the events sometimes alluded to the letters and vice versa. It was a smart way to keep the narrative focused.

As Mrs. T-C’s secrets reveal themselves, the reader also learns that revenge is a motivator, both on a personal scale for her and a national level post-WWII. There are well-drawn parallels that bring emotion to the forefront of the story.

Ultimately, however, hers is a story of a life full of secrets, told in memories, and perfectly honed to the way she wants it told. Reading her perspective, and knowing her inner thoughts, gave me great respect for the life that she led. I love that the author made me feel that deeply about a character.

There were even a few twists that I did not see coming, which made me appreciate the craftsmanship of the plot even more. Additionally, the author does a fantastic job of relating some of the unspoken horrors of post-WWII life. I’m not going to elaborate, but I guarantee at least one of them is something you probably never considered. I’ve studied that era extensively, and it had never crossed my mind.

In case you couldn’t tell (and if the second line of this review wasn’t clear enough), this is an incredible book, and you do NOT want to miss it.

My Name is EvaMy Name is Eva by Suzanne Goldring
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Make no mistake; this is a stellar read! From the thoroughly realistic characters (including the mysterious main character and her real jerk of a niece) to the intricate plot, I loved everything about it. I especially liked how Evelyn (Evie/Eva) was a master of manipulation. She was one of the most intriguing characters I have ever “met.” Do yourself a huge favor and pick this one up. For a full review, please visit my blog at Fireflies and Free Kicks Fiction Reviews. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture, and the author for a complimentary, pre-release digital ARC of the book.

View all my reviews

Following an eventful career as a public relations consultant, specialising in business and travel, Suzanne Goldring turned to writing the kind of novels she likes to read, about the extraordinary lives of ordinary people. Two of her novels have been placed in the Winchester Writers’ Conference First Three Pages of a Novel competition. Her novel, The Way We Lied, can be read as a serial on her blog site, suzannegoldring.wordpress.com. She is currently working on a novel about delusion, deception, and death, set in Corfu. 

Suzanne drew on her experiences of living in a timbered 14th-century house, where she raised two daughters and a variety of livestock, to write Powerless. All her other novels are pure fiction and any resemblance to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

Cover Reveal: The Zodiac Queen

         

ARIES (THE ZODIAC QUEEN #1) by Gemma James Release Date: October 1st

 

Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/47794894-aries

             

Blurb: Twelve men. A virgin queen. One arranged marriage.

The first time I met the boys of the Zodiac Brotherhood, I was forced to my knees for the introduction. Still grieving the death of my parents, I was a child queen, a pawn in my uncle’s agenda for wealth and gain. As my guardian, he had the authority to arrange a marriage upon my eighteenth birthday.

That meeting took place six years ago. Now those boys are powerful men. Twelve virile men that want to own me.

And I must spend a month with each one. Bending and yielding to their desires and commands. Shedding pieces of my innocence so long as my virtue remains intact.

Because they want a virgin queen after the last month concludes, and my uncle plans to auction me off to the highest bidder.

Out of the twelve men, only one has my heart. And only one can claim my hand in marriage. If only it were up to me to decide.

         

About the Author: Gemma James is a USA Today and Amazon bestselling author of a blend of genres, from new adult suspense to dark erotic romance.
