Release Day Party

One dominant alpha male.

One innocent bewitching woman.

Equals one explosive attraction.

Mia Brunetti is far too busy with her studies to worry about having a man in her life. Growing up with three unruly and overprotective brothers has made her wary of men in general. That goes double if he's your brother’s best friend.

For years, Mia has worshipped Zane Mitchell and has avoided him and hidden her heart behind a wall. She has waited her entire life for Zane to see her as more than her brother's little sister. Now that she’s old enough to stake her claim on him, she’s pulling out all the sexual stops.

Zane has sworn off all women…until innocent Mia catches his attention. He is a devastatingly, masculine male who makes Mia's imagination go wild, but Zane has desires that would send innocent Mia running. The recently injured ex-cop is now working for the Brunetti family empire. As part of Mia's internship, Mia's brothers have placed her under Zane's wing. He is more than willing to take Mia up on her offer. The fun and games tie them both up in knots. Mia isn’t willing to settle for less than the whole package. But dominant Zane, even though the sexy country girl sets his blood ablaze, is determined to resist her efforts to protect his battered heart and her from his needs.

Do you have a favourite author? Who is it/are they?

I have many!!! CJ Roberts, Pepper Winters, are two that come to mind.

How did you start your writing career?

I just decided to write a story in my head. I didn't plan to publish. I just wanted to see if I could write it all out and if it would make sense.

Which character was the hardest to write and why? 

Catherine Marie London. I couldn't find anything redeemable about her.

And, to her surprise, she realizes he might be the man for her, too. Will she let her doubts get in the way of their feelings for each other?

Excerpt

Jennifer Blake was not a happy camper nor was I. He was driving like a maniac. A Chevy pickup no less. He’d asked Mrs. Cho to have someone pick us up when we landed, but somehow that had gotten lost in translation and instead she’d rented him a pickup truck. As mad as I was at him, I’d do anything to see my metrosexual hero behind the wheel of this vehicle. That man in a pickup truck was like Batman in an RV. “We need to find a Wal-Mart,” he grumbled. “Why?” I gritted. I was still blindfolded and handcuffed, and I had no clue where I was except I knew it wasn’t some romantic island. I waited impatiently for his response. “So, I can buy a chainsaw and saw off your handcuffs.” Gah! The thought of Blake with a chainsaw sent a shiver down my spine. My life could be over. Mr. Born with a Silver Spoon in his Mouth was not exactly what I’d call handy. The only power tools he had any experience with were his tongue, his hands, and his cock. “What about a locksmith?” My voice was urgent. “I’m sure one could make a key to unlock these damn things.” “That’s a good idea, tiger.” “Why don’t you take off my blindfold so I can keep my eyes peeled for one? And where the hell are we anyway?” “That’s not happening. And I’m not telling.” Two minutes later, Blake swerved off the road with a screech. My neck jerked painfully. I think I had whiplash. Horns were blasting at us from all directions. “What the fuck are you doing, Blake? You’re going to get us killed!” “There’s a Wal-Mart straight ahead of us,” he replied brightly. Ten minutes later, Blake was leading me through the bustling mega-store. He had his fingers curled around my neck since holding one of my pinned back, cuffed hands was not an option. I could barely move my fingers. The fucking handcuffs were cutting off my circulation. Oh, was he going to pay for this. Big time!

NEW RELEASE & REVIEW!! 'Til Death by Bella Jewel

Title: 'Til Death: Volume One

Series: 'Til Death #1

Author: Bella Jewel

 Release Date: November 25, 2014

Synopsis

They say there's a fine line between love and hate.

There is.

I married a douchebag.

I didn't know it at the time.

He came in like a handsome stranger and blew me off my feet.

I fell madly in love, like the naive girl I am.

Then he left me high and dry.

Turns out, I was nothing more than a business plan for billionaire playboy, Marcus Tandem.

He needed to be married in order to obtain his grandfathers business, and I was the poor victim in his path.

I believed in what we had, until the truth reared its ugly head.

I never meant anything to Marcus. Not a damned thing.

With my world spinning on its axis, the girl I once was has long since died.

Instead he left me as this empty, emotionless shell.

I may have made a vow before God to love and cherish him ‘Til Death do we part, but it’s time for me to give back to Marcus, exactly what he gave me.

He has to pay.

And pay he will.


*This is part of a two book series and it will contain a HEA – Readers over 18+

Review by The Queen B:

Well, fuck. Just…fuck.

I’m sitting here after just finishing ‘Til Death hankering for the conclusion.

What an arse. Marcus has inherited the family business from his grandfather on three conditions.

-          Get married

-          Stay with her for two years (can’t just get married and divorced within that time)

-          She has to come to him willingly (ie, not allowed to let her know and pay her off for the time)

If he breaks any of these rules, the person he likes least will take control of the company. Bummer.

For the player, no one thinks it’s possible, particularly the person who’ll get the company if Marcus stuffs up.  He meets Katia, who happens to be the BFF of one of his employees, and decides that she’s the one. Yes, The One. The one to fulfil the conditions of his grandfather’s will. Nice touch.  She’s just a contract to him and a regular fuck. A body he enjoys but no more. They don’t even share a bed.

For every time he gives her a blank look or brushes her off—not washing her in the shower, not telling her where he’s going for business, ignoring her texts—you kind of want to reach through the screen and shake him by the throat. He does a few nice things in regards to Katia’s mother and her old job, which Katia mistakes as him caring for her but it is made quite clear, he’s doing it for his own benefit (self-serving prick).

She falls hard for him and it’s a little hard to see such powerful emotions coming from her and none from him. And then there’s one of his ex-fucks who comes comes around trying to start trouble, family who accidentally stick their nose in things and the man who wants Marcus’ company coming around to start shit too.

I’ve only read one of Bella Jewel’s books but just this one time has left me wanting more. I need the time to delve into my book collection and find the Joker’s Wrath series and play catch up on the characters from those books who make a cameo appearance (and I do so love finding the extra back story to things!)

‘Til Death is a fabulous read and I look forward to the next part. It’s well written with strong characters and good character growth, whether it be emotionally or mentally. Definitely add to your TBR’s must-read list.

Review by Ashlea:

I will admit I had my worries about reading this book. It's not what I normally read and falling for the bad guy is not me. But after the first chapter I was hooked. Katie says it at the start, you are going to hate her and Marcus but that because you fall for them so much. But they do things that make you want to slap the shit out of them. Bella's writing sucks you in and holds you tight as you go on the ride that is this read. I'm a reader that tends to work out what's going to happen next but I must say I have no bloody idea. Twist and turns that have me grabbing and holding on for more. And some steamy sex that has me needing a cold shower. Days later and I'm still swooning over Marcus. This good girl might after all be interested in the dark side. Katia and Marcus have a lot more in store for us, I can feel it. Bring on part two I say.

FAIRIES & WISHES by Karen Erickson (aka Monica Murphy) Lily the holiday fairy is given a new assignment this Christmas season--teach a lonely doctor how to love again.
