*New Release & Review* Piece of Work by Staci Hart

Piece of Work, an all-new sexy romance from Staci Hart, is LIVE!

Marble isn’t the only thing that’s hard at this museum.

His body is as chiseled as Adonis. His lips are as sculpted as David. And his ego is the size of the Guggenheim.

You know the type—wolfish smile and the gravity of a black hole. The kind of man who sucks all the air from the room the second he enters it. My cocky boss thinks this internship was wasted on me, and he doesn’t hesitate to let me know.

But he’s wrong, and I’m going to prove it to him. If I can stay away from his devil lips, that is. Lips that cut me down and kiss me in the same breath, leaving me certain he’s on a mission to ruin my life.

And maybe my heart.

Dot's Dirty Deets:

What do I say about Ms. Hart's masterpiece? It was brilliant. It was inspiring. It was moving. It was everything that I wanted and more in a book. There is nothing I love more than a woman gaining confidence and taking names while she's doing it.

Not to give away too much of the storyline, but Rin!! Yes, Rin! Yes! Way to take charge and kick ass while doing it. She is the heroine of all heroines. I could relate to her on so many levels. Always wanting to blend in with the crowd, but still sticking out like a sore thumb. Always wanting to not be noticed, but failing miserably. Rin was me in a way. And that is what made it relatable. Her friends. Everyone should have friends like her and all of them need their own stories ::COUGH::COUGH::

Court? Can I have a Court for myself? He's sexy. Assertive. Bossy. Smart. Oh, so smart. Can I please have in a wrapped up box, on display, in my room, only for my viewing pleasure. I loved his internal conflict with being with Rin. But that is all I can say. Because..spoilers.

 I laughed, I cringed, I got a little weepy, I felt this book. What drink should you drink while reading this? Something smooth. Maybe a little cognac? I don't know. I don't drink that stuff.  So, maybe? Read it! Enjoy it! Love it!

About the Staci

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

**New Release & Review** Toying With Her by Prescott Lane

Rating: ⛤⛤⛤⛤

 Release Date: August 17th 

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

Toying with Her, an all-new standalone from Prescott Lane is coming LIVE!!!

No one said finding love was easy, but when you invented the world’s best selling vibrator, it’s near impossible. Yep, that’s right. That little toy hidden in your bedside table is my brain child. It’s aptly named Woman on Top. And you know what they say . . . it’s lonely at the top.

So I’m headed home to my Southern roots. It’s supposed to be an extended Summer vacation — nothing more. But Rorke Weston has other plans for me. Plans that not only involve me being on top, but also underneath him.

It’s been said you never forget your first. For me, that’s definitely true. No night has ever lived up to the one I spent with Rorke.

He’s turned into quite a man. Tan from the Southern sun, and stubborn as the day is long. And there’s nothing sweeter than the swipe of his tongue.

Rorke wants his chance. The one we never had. But that was a long time ago. When I still believed in Prince Charming and Happily Ever Afters. Even ten years later, I feel a pull. And it’s not simply Rorke yanking down my panties.

Do second chances really happen? Or is my heart simply toying with me?

***ARC Received in exchange for an honest review ***

This is the first I have ever heard of Prescott Lane and I am glad I was introduced to her. A woman who invented sex toys? Right up my alley! I just don't feel like it was a page turner. I wasn't on the edge of my seat wanting more. It was well written and had complex characters, but it just didn't leave a lasting impression. I was ready to read my next book immediately. I didn't even sit down to write out my review before I forgot any juicy details. 

Don't get me wrong, it was good. Spicy. And an interesting read. But it won't be on my must read books. I mean, yeah, you should read it. But you don't have to. Yes, I recommend it. But, you get my drift. 

It is a sweet love story.

Okay, let me edit this a bit. I had a cup of coffee and I don't feel like I wrote everything that needed to be said.

This is the story of the heart wanting what it wants. Of what happens when you never really let go. It pulled at my heart strings and tugged at my emotions. Everyone needs a Rorke to fight for them. 

About the Author:

Prescott Lane is the Amazon best-selling author of Stripped Raw. She's got seven other books under her belt including: First Position, Perfectly Broken, Quiet Angel, Wrapped in Lace, Layers of Her, The Reason for Me, and The Sex Bucket List.

Wren Ballard is trying to find herself.

She never expected to be divorced at twenty-seven, but now that the court date has passed, it’s official. The paperwork is final. Her feelings on it aren’t.

Spending the summer in a small mountain town outside Seattle is exactly what she needs. The peaceful scenery is a given, the cat with the croaky meow is a surprise, but the real kicker? A broody neighbor with nice arms, a strange reputation, and absolutely no interest in her.

Anderson Black is perfectly fine being lost.

He doesn’t care about the town’s new resident — he’s too busy fighting his own demons. But when he’s brought face to face with Wren, he can see her still-fresh wounds from a mile away. What he doesn’t see coming is his need to know who put them there — or his desperation to mend them.

Sometimes getting lost is the way to find yourself. Sometimes healing only adds a new scar. And sometimes the last place you expected to be is exactly where you find home.

****

You know the drill by now. If you don't want spoilers, then do not read beyond this point. Because this one was a good one and I have a lot to say!

Well, Ms. Steiner, you have gone and done it again. I do not know why I torture myself and read your books. I really don't. This one will probably be on the top of my list of books that you have written. But I still have a few to play catch-up on, so the jury is still out. But...the feelings I felt when I read this one made me want to crawl inside myself and never come out. Why? No clue. I have suffered a loss. I have not suffered a big break-up like a divorce. I haven't run away to find myself (unless you count college, but nah). I guess the book was so real to me. All too often, when reading books, you think to yourself. "Come on, not in a million years would this happen." But this probably will touch so many hearts that it is so relatable. The word that poured out onto the pages, were brilliant. Beautifully written. Extremely heartbreaking. I have never rooted for two characters to stop worrying about outside forces and be together. Ugh.

Wren, Wren, Wren. I kept thinking in my head, "Who cares?!" So what you just got a divorce months ago. So what! So what! So what! She's just going to let this man who is giving her what she wants just walk out of her life? Anderson! I was having angry anxiety. I wanted him to just be like, "Shut up and be with me." That scene right before she left and the words Momma Von spoke to her ran through her head. She felt it. I felt it. The readers will feel this! OMG. Then Kandi Steiner pulls out the Morton's, grabs my shoulders and pours onto my open heart when Beau shows up at the end. Seriously? That entire story wasn't enough? You had to add that one last knife twist to make me hurt and feel more? Thanks. Thanks a whole effing lot.

If you all can't tell by this review, I loved this book. Revelry will have you all in your feelings. I almost gave it a 4.5 because she just made me feel way too much. It is definitely a can't put down book. I was up til 1am last night finishing it. Looking at my progress at the bottom of my app, thinking, "Just one more chapter...just 5 more minutes." Well, yeah...I'm tired. But this book...just read it. Yes. Please.

Release Blitz coming soon!



Cole by Karla Sorensen

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Recommend: YES!!
Standalone book, but is the 3rd book of Bachelors of the Ridge (You can read it by itself, but will understand the characters more if you read the first two books.
Triggers: infertility

Blurb (Courtesy of Goodreads):

Cole Mallinson has never been able to move on.

It’s been two thousand, three hundred and sixty-two days since he’s seen his ex-wife, Julia. He’s never stopped loving her, never stopped wishing she’d come back. Everyone thinks he’s lost his mind for never moving on, but they couldn’t understand. It was never a choice.

Seven years ago, Julia Mallinson left Denver, and even though it’s the last place she wants to be, she’s back. The years of infertility that she and Cole endured during their marriage wore her down past the point of breaking. And when she left, she didn’t look back, couldn’t look back, for the sake of her sanity, her heart.

Between an accidental run-in at the grocery store and a meddling pregnant sister, Julia is forced to face the man she walked away from. The man who still, after all these years, has never moved on. Though neither has she.

And in the end, she’s left wondering if the past is ever left in the past.

***Review and some things you may think are spoilers***

I received this book in form of ARC in exchange for an honest opinion. No, this doesn't sway my rating, but it helps! Kidding. I'm honest. And I can say, I loved it all. I decided to add a triggers section to my reviews because not everyone can deal with reading everything. 

Sorry this took so long, I don't like to feel like I missed out on anything, so I read the two previous books before reading this one. And what a funny and sweet series this is turning out to be.

So...Cole. Cole is a big, tall, ball of brooding man who has been caught up on his ex-wife for way too long. What the heck Cole, move on! I kept thinking this even while reading Garrett and Dylan, but I knew I would get backstory. But I still had the same thoughts. It truly was a beautifully written love story. I do think it was a bit rushed, but my rating won't be faulted in this. Cole's ex-wife, Julia...I just wanted to murder her. How could you leave someone who loved you so very much. Even with all your faults, how could you just pick up and leave without the decency to explain why? 

Sorensen's style of writing is witty, will leave you with a pile of emotions and make you think. I can't wait for what she has up her sleeves with the other Bachelors.

Honestly, I would have given this a 5 out of 5. It deserves one, but I really don't care that some of the stories weren't longer to provide me with more. Okay...okay...I will go change my rating. There is really no way to review this in my normal way. I was taking notes so I could refer back to them, but you know how reading goes with me. I was on the edge of my seat. My heart rate was beating. There's something for everyone in this anthology. Supernatural, romance, bondage...yeah..it gets steamy.

So, if you are looking for a good read, pick up this one.
