Eric de Vries.
Looks like millions.
Worth billions.
A body like the David with a mind to match.

Unfortunately for this wayward heir, to keep his money, he needs a wife.
And of all the women in the world, he chooses me.
Too bad I've hated him for five years, since he took all my tears and tossed me away. The guy slept his way through half of New England and discarded women like hotel toiletries.
Been there. Done that.

Still...what would you do for twenty million dollars?
Would you wear the dress?
Fake a smile for the man who broke your heart?
Or would you run far, far away?

Yeah, that's what I thought.
I'll see you at the church.

The Edge of Forever

Today we have the blog tour The Edge of Forever by J. Saman! Check it out and be sure to grab your copy today!


Title: The Edge of Forever
Author: J. Saman 
Genre: Contemporary romance

Weston Kincaid was my first…everything. My brother's best friend should have come with a warning label. The man was a cautionary tale and we were the ill-fated cliché. The star quarterback to my loner art geek. But I didn't listen. Not to the warnings. Not to my instincts. I fell, and I fell hard. Then he left and I was forced to pick up the pieces of my broken heart. A decade and a lifetime later, he's back. Only instead of being the star jock, he's now a surgeon. A sexy, irresistible surgeon who happens to save my friend's life. As if all that isn't bad enough, he has it in his determined, arrogant head that we should pick up where we left off. But this time, it'll take more than devouring looks and the rush of his touch to temp me back into his bed. And my heart? Not an option. He's about to figure out, I'm not the same girl he left behind.

I was pretty excited for this book since I love the brothers-best-friend trope and it sounded really interesting. And it was actually pretty intriguing and I enjoyed reading it, but I also didn't love it as much as I hoped I would. Wes and Aria had a lot going on which sometimes just meant there was a lot to keep me interested but in the end it all just felt like a little too much. When the ending came and I finished reading I still felt like the romance between these characters wasn't finished and I was looking for a little more. 

There were flash backs to them as teens that were put in and most of them I just didn't feel were necessary for us to know Wes and Aria. Then we had the drama with Aria's best friend in the hospital and us trying to figure out what happened to him. And then finally we had the romance in the present between these characters. Which by the time we got to it just felt like it was an after thought. I just felt like things were missing to complete the story with a sense of romance and happily ever after. I wanted more Wes and Aria in the present and not the random scenes of the past that still didn't add up to much. And I really really wanted some family scenes in the present. Especially with Aria's brother so we could see his reaction to them together. As it was, I can't even honestly say this was a brothers-best-friend kind of book since the brother wasn't really even in the story. 

Overall, there were a lot of good parts to this story and I did still enjoy it. I was just looking for a little more romance I guess. But I can certainly say that it was intriguing and I think a lot of people will love reading this.

Envy

Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak...they’re for The Elite.



ENVY BY M.N. FORGY
AN ELITE SEVEN IS LIVE!
Keep reading to grab your copy & to enter to win a $20 gift card!!!

It was temptation that broke the sinner.

People say I have everything.

They’re wrong.

I may have looks, money, and privilege, but I don’t have the one thing that really matters, the one thing I crave: a woman with eyes only for me.

I’m searching for my woman—one who will fall to her knees because I’m her king. She’ll wear the crown of my tarnished name, and long for me when I’m not near. And when I am close, she’ll be naked across my lap, feeling the sting of my palm across her milky skin.

You could say I’m a sinner because I’d do anything to have the perfect woman—compliant to my every need and whim—and I’m envious of every couple who walks around naive to the luxury they have.

That’s why I joined The Elite, the most prestigious brotherhood in the south.

It’s the one place that will give me what I cannot have.

Only…the task assigned to me is too much for my jealous eyes.

Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak...they’re for The Elite.

Those who envy have no peace.

My name is Sabastian Westbrook.

I am Envy.







The Elite Seven

7 AUTHORS.
7 STORIES.
7 DEADLY SINS.


Since 1942, The Elite Seven Society have created and guided influential leaders, molding the country into something better. This society was birthed by Malcom Benedict, II who wanted more for Americans.  More wealth.  More influence.  More power. Some leaders have the skills, but not the influence, and that simply wasn’t fair according to Mr. Benedict. He invested his own money and time to construct a society that bred the best of the best, year after year.

But to be the best, you must be ruthless.
Good leaders make sacrifices.  Sometimes the sacrifices are hard, but the rewards are plentiful.  Mr. Benedict made sure to indulge these leaders with their utmost desires.  A devout Catholic himself, he designed a society that rewarded his leaders with the sins that were frowned upon.  If they were giving up love and happiness and joy for the betterment of the country, they deserved something in its stead.

Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.

Choosing leaders for this society means that it takes intense focus.  Only seven are to be selected, and the investments and time are showered upon the new seven chosen every four years.  The predecessors of each group of seven choose people who fit the sin that will mold them into who they are needed to be in the future—what America needs them to be.  This is after a detailed study of many potential candidates.  The university’s acting dean behaves as a liaison for the society bringing the college applicants to the predecessors so that the selection may begin.  The society members who are going out will bring forth a candidate that the society votes on and approves.

After they are chosen, the initiates are given a token and an invitation to initiation.  The initiation will be a test to their character and ability to do what’s right for the betterment of the society.  Once the initiates pass their test, they are discreetly branded with the mark of the society, and are groomed through challenges during the course of their elite education to breed them into the influential people they were meant to be.

Once in The Elite Seven, there is no getting out. The money and power are their reward. Should they choose to stray or break the rules, the society strips them of everything.  Anything they once had will be removed.  Opportunities will never arise.  They will no longer have the support of the society.  To this day, there have been no known occurrences of anyone from the society having to be banished.  This elite group of people are what every young man and woman aspire to be a part of.  While the group is a secret society, they are whispered about amongst the privileged folks in the country.  Anyone who is anyone knows of the group and secretly hopes it’s their son or daughter who are selected, for good fortune is showered on the family for decades to come.

♛ READ IT NOW ♛


"It is not often that the second book in a trilogy is better than the first, but this is the case with Julie Johnson’s Torrid Throne. Sometimes second books can be fillers and setups for the final book in a series; this book however, not only expanded on the first great story, but really flourished into an intense, riveting look at a girl becoming a woman before becoming a queen."
★★★★★


"This tale grabs hold, twists and turns, and does not let go! There's heart & soul, loyalty & betrayal, heat & chill, angst, strength, heartbreak….. EVERYTHING that makes a 5 star read. Perfect follow up to Dirty Halo and definitely leaves you on the edge of your seat waiting for Sordid Empire."

♛ BLURB ♛

Two months ago, Emilia Lancaster was a regular girl with a regular life.

Now, through a cruel twist of fate, she finds herself living in a castle with a crown on her head, the sole heir to the Germanian throne.

Between the charity balls, press events, and royal obligations, Emilia’s days are suddenly full of unfamiliar responsibilities. And with a series of new suitors vying for her attention — not to mention Carter Thorne, the one man she can never have, sleeping one suite away — her nights aren’t much simpler to navigate.

One thing is certain: Emilia’s heart is in undeniable danger. But as enemies of the crown circle ever-closer… her life may be in jeopardy as well…

TORRID THRONE is a royal romance about an ordinary girl who inherits an extraordinary legacy. Filled with forbidden love, murderous plots, and machiavellian intrigue, it is recommended for mature readers only. It is the second book in the FORBIDDEN ROYALS TRILOGY.


Emilia is proving to be one badass heroine and I am loving it. I felt like we really got to see her step into her new roll in this book and also discover how tough she could really be. Page after page I became more intrigued with her and also with trying to figure out who is after the crown. I still have so many questions so I'm dying to get more. 

I also loved the connection that we got to see between Emilia and Carter even though it wasn't featured too too much. Which just meant that I was ten times more curious and screaming even louder for them to get together. I need to see those two get a happy ending, dangit! Also Chloe, that girl is definitely the character that has me smiling the hardest every time she shows up so I definitely need more of her too.

Overall, this was a fantastic addition to this series and showed so much character development. I'll be waiting for the conclusion on the edge of my seat.

Blindsided

Release Date: March 20, 2019
Cover Design: Kellie Dennis / Book Cover by Design
 
𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫:
When Talon left to play pro ball six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep. Now he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can’t have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break both our careers. That’s not my biggest concern though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight. I need to stay away from him.

𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧:
Years ago, Miller and I made a pact that we’d win a Super Bowl together. When I’m offered a position on his team in Chicago, I don’t hesitate. I move across the country to chase a dream that’s a decade old. Only, now that I’m here, he’s avoiding me every chance he gets. If he was anyone else, I’d cut my losses. But this is Shane Miller—the guy who makes everything better just by existing in my universe. The guy I’d do anything for. The guy who’s more to me than a brother, a friend, or even a teammate. I’m not going to let him get away.



Talon and Miller's relationship had me all tingly with the emotions. Seriously, I was so envious of their relationship. Honestly they didn't even have any overly romantic scenes between them but it was just the love that they shared that was so evident that had me happy-sighing all over the place. Even just the little things of how much they missed each other if they were apart was so sweet I almost couldn't handle it. 

Fangirling over for a minute and on to the details. So this book doesn't follow the fake-boyfriend trope like the rest of the series. Which is more than fine. Instead, Talon and Miller were both very new to the whole "I'm in love with my best friend - who's a dude" thing. And it added so much intrigue this story that had me enthralled and dying to find out how it was going to come to blows. They were comfortable being with each other when it was a threesome situation, as they did that a lot in college, but they never even touched each other in a romantic way. Which left this book open to explore all of their firsts together and let me just say, holy hell make sure you're not reading this in public. Actually, let's just say this book is better read when you have some alone time. 

The emotions and the heat and the romance, it was all just flying off of these pages and I was in love. With the characters and their story both, all of it was just fantastic. I feel like my review makes no sense at all since I'm still stuck in the fangirling stage of this book, but just take that to mean that this is a book you need to read. Like right away, go read it, and enjoy it, and love these characters as much as I do right now.

Exclusive Excerpt:

I feel him kneel down until his face is close to mine. “Josh is my patient, Aria, and I take my job very seriously.” I turn back to him. There is something in his voice that compels me to. “But seeing you again…” He trails off, his eyes searching mine. “Is it too much if I say I’ve thought about you over the years? Wondered about you.” My breath hitches as his fingers come up, tracing the lines of my cheek until they’re diving through my hair, cupping the back of my head. I feel like I’m flying. The way he’s staring into me makes me feel weightless. “I know it’s been a long time, but it doesn’t feel that way, does it?” I shake my head, unable to verbalize just what this is. “It feels like you just climbed out of my bedroom window.” 

“It does.” His thoughts echo mine from just a few hours ago. My voice is quiet, the sound getting absorbed into the din of Josh’s machines and hospital doings. His head dips down to catch my words, his face inches from mine now. His proximity is too much. I can’t stand it. I have no idea how to react to it. 

“I can’t believe I’m seeing you again after all this time.” 

I swallow so hard. He has no idea. He was my first everything. Including my first love. I’ve since compared every single man to him. Including Drew. Who also works in this hospital as a doctor. They probably know each other. I bet they do. Drew works in the emergency department and Wes is a trauma surgeon. That thought twists my stomach for some reason. 

My eyes trail along the muscles of his arms. The sleeve of his scrub top looks like it could tear any moment. “You’re bigger than I remember,” I comment and then instantly cringe. Me and my mouth. I swear, it’s like it goes on total disconnect from my brain whenever I get nervous. He laughs, dropping his forehead to mine. And even though this should probably be considered weird or out of place, it’s not. It feels like the most natural thing in the world. Probably because he’s done it dozens of times before. 

“Aria,” he whispers against me, his sweet breath tickling my lips. “Am I making you nervous?” 

I both love and hate that he remembers my little quirk. But then again, I couldn’t shut up before he gave me that first ever kiss on my roof. Or while he was undressing me that first time months after that. And definitely not when he began to talk while he was first inside me. It’s amazing the guy stuck it out to the conclusion. 

“Yes,” I admit. “You always have.” 

“In a bad way?” Like he doesn’t know. 

“In a good way. In a fun way.” 

“A fun way.” He smirks, testing the words. “Is that all I am to you?” 

“Well.” I laugh because I can’t help it. “Considering I haven’t seen you in a freaking decade, I can’t say what you are to me.”
