Finding Freedom Reviewed by Jeana I received a arc of this and I loved. I mean what's not to love about a hot mma fighter. I couldn't put it down. 5 stars hands down. TITLE: Finding Freedom AUTHOR: Natalie Gayle SERIES: Centre Games - Book 3 Dylan âIce Dragonâ Thompson has suddenly become the hottest thing in MMA. Heâs fought all his life for control and inner peace. He focuses on what he excels atâfighting and his work with the Centre. Itâs what he knows and what keeps him in balance. His latest assignment has him fighting a war with a partner he doesnât believe he can trust. Vanessa Aldridge has grown up in the gym and has seen it allâsome good, some bad. But when performance-enhancing drugs threaten her life and her personal sense of worthâenough is enough. The very people closest to her now have her questioning their motives and nobody is as they seem. On top of all this, sheâs unwittingly become the number-one pawn in an organised crime game and sheâs risking her heart on a guy who wants to fight for everything but them. Vanessa quickly discovers that Dylan is far from what he appears to be. But what happens when his latest assignment blows his carefully created world wide open? Can Dylan win the most important fight of allâthe one for her heart and their future? Or will he retreat back into the one-dimensional existence of working and fighting? Can Vanessa remain steadfast to her principles and just maybe take the ultimate prize? The battle lines are drawn. When the bell rings, who will step up to fight? The prize: A future of freedom. Vanessa snuggled into Dylanâs side and placed her head on his chest. His arm came around her and held her tight to his body. It had fast become her favourite place to relax and to sleep. She really enjoyed this closeness between them. Theyâd just spent the last couple of hours enjoying each other in some incredibly delicious ways. Their need for each other seemed to be getting stronger, if anything. Hard to believe, but true. It didnât feel just like sex to Vanessa any longer. There was something much more to their relationship now. It felt much deeper, more committed. Heâd just made love to her. Whether he labelled it that or not, didnât really matter. Vanessa was sure there was more to it than just mutual satisfaction. Sex satisfied the basic needs of the body; making love replenished the soul and thatâs how she felt right now. âWhatcha thinking, Van?â Dylan stroked the hair back from her warm forehead. âI was thinking just how much I like lying here in your arms, listening to your heart beat. I feel content and nothing seems to matter when Iâm here beside you. I think Iâve moved past the care thing, Dylan. I think Iâm in love with you.â Vanessa realised it was the truth as soon as the words left her mouth. She hadnât intended to say them but he had a right to know. If he didnât want her love or couldnât deal with it, she deserved to know that as well. It couldnât be unsaid, nor did she actually want to. If he chose to run, then that was on him. At least she would know one way or the other. He was quiet for a long moment and Vanessaâs stomach filled with dread. What did he really think? How would he answer? Would he even acknowledge sheâd said the words? Finally, she could stand it no longer. âUm, Iâm sorry for unloading that on you. I think youâ¦â He brought a finger to her lips and hushed her. âStop thinking the worst, Vanessa. Itâs only been a second. Iâm going to answer; youâve just taken me by surprise. Iâm trying to figure out how I feel because I never expected to hear those words again from any woman. I guess itâs kind of taken me by surprise.â Vanessa wondered how this could be. Just the other day, theyâd decided they both âcaredâ about each other. Surely love wasnât much of a jump, or was it for someone like Dylan, who was usually so closed off? Her heart tightened for him; to not ever expect to hear those wordsâ¦that was devastating. âI didnât mean to put you on the spot, Dylan. It just kind of slipped out but itâs the truth. Iâm sorry if that upsets you.â He squeezed her to him tighter. âVanessa, never apologise for loving someone. Having someoneâs love is an absolute gift. Iâm just trying to decide if Iâm worthy of yours.â Vanessa placed her hand over the pec that her head wasnât resting on and pushed up. She needed to see his eyes to really understand what was going through his head. Plus she wanted him to see hers and know everything she said was the absolute truth. âDylan, what on earth ever happened to you to make you feel that you werenât worthy of someoneâs love?â Her voice cracked as she said the words so choked with emotion. He raked his hand back through his hair. âIâm not like you, Van. Iâm human but I have all this weird shit going on inside me. I donât know if what I feel is the same as what you feel. What if what I feel is not love but something else? What if my animal genes somehow change all this?â She desperately tried to process his words. âAre you saying that youâre wondering if what youâre feeling is the same as what Iâm calling love?â âYeah, I guess. I mean Iâm more than just human, so I wonder if the feelings we label as something are the same. I know the definitions for emotions. I just wonder if weâre talking about the same thing we actually feel.â Wow. This was deep. Her mind raced. How could they align? How could she help him clarify his feelings? âWell, maybe if I tell you what Iâm feeling and labelling love, then you can decide if thatâs what you think it is?â He looked uncertain and Vanessa definitely felt the same. But she knew she had to be brave and push on. She sensed this conversation was potentially life-changing to them. Rather than wait for him to answer, she launched on. âDylan, to me love is many things. Itâs a combination of lots of feelings all rolled into one. Itâs about what I feel for you but itâs also about how you make me feel about myself. Let me give you some specific examples. Itâs laying here snuggled into you like this. I feel totally relaxed, safe, and special. Itâs knowing youâre always so concerned about my safety and youâre prepared to immediately step up to ensure it and you donât mind offending a few people on the way if thatâs what it takes. Itâs the little affectionate kisses on the neck, the pats on the butt, the times you pull me into your side. It makes me feel special and good inside to know you want me close. Itâs what we do in the bedroom.â He looked like he was about to interrupt but this time it was Vanessaâs turn to press her fingers to his lips. âShhh, youâll get your turn soon. Donât tell me itâs just lust. Itâs much more than that. Youâve taken the time and the effort to make sure Iâve been satisfied. And that could probably be construed as you being a generous lover. But itâs how you touch me, caress me. Your touch has changed of late. It feels like Iâm special and important to you. Itâs different from the beginning. More fulfilling. âItâs the way we can talk about things, argue about things but still move forward. Iâm quite capable of handling most situations that life throws at meâsome good, some bad. I find myself wanting to share the good with you. I want to tell you all about them, experience them with you more than anyone else. And the badâwell, it doesnât seem so daunting or terrible with you there to lean on. You make me feel good about myself. You make me feel like I can do anything I set my mind to. I feel whole when Iâm with you. Youâre the first person I think of when I wake up and the last person I think of before I go to sleep. Youâre the one I want to talk to first, spend time with.â She could see the emotions roll across his face and his hazel eyes mirrored her every word. She wondered what he was thinking. âThis is what Iâm defining as love.â She relaxed back onto his chest and pulled herself in tight to him. His arms closed tighter around her. Heâd need a few moments to process all that. Hell, she did too. Once sheâd started, the words just seemed to keep coming. She really hoped he understood where she was coming from. It may not have been the most eloquent of descriptions or speeches, but that was how she felt. Thatâs what love meant to her. Finally he shifted a little and dragged her up his body. He reached up and pressed his lips to hers. âYou really feel all that about me?â She nodded without hesitation. It was such a simple question to answer. âI do feel like that.â He took her by surprise and rolled over. He brought her under him, his body laid out over the top of hers. She loved the feeling of his weight on her. He planted his forearms on the mattress beside her shoulders and his eyes seemed to bore into her soul. âI feel lots of things about you, too, Vanessa. Iâm not going to label it love right here and now because I think that would be premature and somehow cheapen what youâve just shared with me, but you certainly helped clarify a few things for me. I definitely care deeply for you, more than Iâve ever felt for anyone else in a very long time. Maybe even forever. Now that I know weâre talking about the same thing, I need to try it on for size. See how it fits.â He leant forward and touched his lips to hers in a searing kiss. He didnât try to push for more. The simplicity and chasteness of it spoke much more than hungry passion would have. Somehow it seemed this kiss marked the start of something bigger, better in their relationship. âThank you for loving me, Vanessa, and caring enough to try to explain to me just what I mean to you.â He dropped a light kiss on the tip of her nose and it tickled. She giggled. âYou said before never to apologise for loving someone. Now Iâm going to say to youânever thank me for loving you. I give it to you freely and willingly. I donât expect nor do I want thanks in return. Just honesty and understanding, and if you one day realise you love me also, that would make my world complete.â He looked down at her for a few long seconds. It should have felt uncomfortable but it didnât. It felt as if he was trying to absorb her into his being. As if he was trying to get to the very centre of what made her the person she was. It felt liberating but very exposing at the same time, but there was nothing she wanted to hide from him anymore. She really hoped that very soon thatâs the way heâd feel about her. I recently discovered those school vocational assessments are really interesting and probably correct! Who would have thought, hey? You see, I clearly remember taking one of those in Year 11 (for my US friends, I think that equates to junior year in high school). Anyway, semantics. Well, the results came back indicating that I should pursue a career in writing and something else. What that something else was I canât remember but the writing thing stuck in my mind. Sure, Iâd always liked English and had already developed a ravenous appetite for romance novels by the age of sixteenâbut who becomes a writer straight out of school? So to cut a long story short, I went to Uni and studied Business and ended up managing large-scale IT projects shortly after. I canât complain: itâs been a great career. Iâve done some awesome projects and met some incredible people and I wonât be giving it up anytime soon. Anyway, Iâve messed around with a couple of âsecretâ novels over the years and I finally decided to get serious and finish one. Hence âFinding Trustâ came about. And about twenty years later, Iâve finally proved a vocational assessment correct, because I love writing! As to some other stuff about me: I live on the Gold Coast, Australia. I love spending time with my family and friends. When Iâm not sitting behind a screen playing with IT or writing, you might find me down the beach playing in the waves on a Jet Ski or a bogey board (both are uber cool). When the weather turns a bit cooler (doesnât really happen on the Gold Coast), we like to head for the snow. Iâve discovered I have two kids who are kamikaze skiersâthey must take after their father. Heâs always at me to ârelease the handbrake.â Apparently Iâd ski so much better. I call it a healthy understanding of self-preservation and gravity! I like to think I can fit in a few workouts and martial arts classes each week. This tends to be a figment of my imagination more than reality, unfortunately. I am trying to remedy this, but those damn characters just keep demanding to have their stories told and, well, thereâs always another good book to read! I hope you enjoy mine. Please drop me a line. You can find me at my website, www.nataliegayle.com. Iâm active on Facebook, Twitter, and via email [email protected]. Iâd love to know what you think of my books and well, letâs be truthfulâI love talking about books, whether theyâre mine or someone elseâs. Fiction is just so much more fun than reality!!!

WHITE COLLARED PART TWO: GREED Reviewed by Jeana Wow, is this a scorcher! I enjoyed this second part of the White Collared series even more than the first, and it's not just the highly titillating nature of this novel. My mystery-solving senses were also highly aroused. It's a 5 star! SYNOPSIS:
In the second installment of Shelly Bell's four-part serialized erotic thriller, law student Kate Martin enters a world of dark secrets and seductive fantasies at the exclusive sex club Benediction. Restrained by... duty … Reeling from a threatening phone call and frightened that her past will be revealed, Kate turns to the one man she can still trust: Nick. She can't deny her attraction to him, yet she craves the passionate connection she has with Jaxon. Bound by passion … Undercover at Benediction, Jaxon introduces Kate to the sensual pleasures found in exhibitionism and voyeurism. While they mingle with the club's patrons, Jaxon and Kate unearth clues about his wife Alyssa's last days that could lead them to her killer. But as she investigates further, Kate is shocked to learn of a cold case that is eerily similar to Alyssa's murder … and when the evidence ties Jaxon to yet another death, Kate begins to question everything she knows about her enigmatic lover.

Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it's been a dream. Her passion for writing didn't start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn't long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa's brain and The Love Series was born. Bestselling Author of the Savannah Series.

Series: Time for Love #2 Author: Bethany Lopez Publication Date: June 2, 2014 Summary: Sasha and TJ are no strangers to enjoying sex with no strings attached, so when they decide to act on their mutual attraction, there should be no reason why they can’t apply that same philosophy to each other. Money has never been an issue for Sasha, which made proving herself as a real estate dynamo a personal challenge she was determined to conquer. Raised in a gilded world masking neglect and disappointment, she learned not to depend on anyone, especially when it comes to love and relationships. Men are great for companionship, but she isn’t looking for anything serious. Used to going without, TJ has worked hard to be able to support himself. When he loses his job and his home in one fell swoop, he faces relying on others for the first time in his adult life. Then Sasha steps in, offering him a place to stay until he’s back on his feet. He grudgingly agrees, but vows to be out of her guest room within 21 days. They'll discover that a lot can change in 21 days, especially when they decide to give the idea of "friends with benefits" a try. As each day passes, Sasha and TJ become closer than they’ve ever been. Will they be able to go back to being just friends when their days together are up, or will they allow their personal hang-ups to get in the way of what they really cherish most?

Mericle Genre: Contemporary Romance Single, twenty-six year old Emily is on her way to spend four days with her friend Annabelle, whose getting married. Staying at her friend’s house, she comes face to face with her first love, Jackson. After throwing herself at Jackson almost ten years ago and being turned down, she has given up and moved on. She has not spoken or seen him since the incident occurred. Her mission is simple; avoid him in attempts of not relieving the past. I notice his eyes drop to my mouth and turn darker. Unconsciously, I lick my lips. When he spoke, his voice dipped lower sending a pleasant tingly sensation down to my nether regions and I cannot lie, my nipples hardened instantly. “Keep looking at me like that and I won`t be able to give you the time you need.” With that, he drops his hand from my hair and takes a step toward the island. Excerpt 2: Throwing my bathroom bag over my shoulder, I open the door to the bathroom and run smack into what feels like a tree. But it`s not a tree. It`s hard, lean and warm to the touch. Oh this can`t be good! Slowly I look up and my mouth falls open when I realize I have run straight into Jackson. SHIT! “Hi,” he says. My dear lord, I have both my palms flat on his chest. Crap! Snapping my mouth shut, I realize I still haven’t responded. I can`t seem to pull my thoughts together long enough to make a coherent thought. Who can blame me, I can actually feel his hard chest under his shirt. And it feels NICE! Biting my bottom lip, I notice he is still waiting for me to respond. “Um….” Is what fumbles out of my mouth. Excerpt 3: Letting go of his shirt, I slide my hands slowly up his chest. Feeling every indentation of his heavenly sculpted chest and broad shoulders, I wrap my arms around his neck. He places his hands on my waist, moving them around to my back and my breathing picks up. This is it. Tipping my head back, he presses his lips to mine. His tongue enters my mouth, stroking every inch. I moan, pressing my body into his further. His right hand slides up my back, into my hair. While the other slides over my butt, pushing my hips into his. I can feel his hardness at my belly, causing a moan to escape my mouth. Lifting my hands into his hair, I bury them. He pulls his lips back, sucking on my bottom lip. The feel of his chest, his arms around me, his lips on me, I can`t concentrate on anything except dropping my panties and hiking up my skirt. J.B.

In her downtime you can find her spending quality time with her family, reading books and divulging in her unhealthy addiction to eating chocolate and drinking wine.
