I will be doing something a little different for todays Teaser Tuesday. I have decided to post my review of Beneath This Man (This Man Trilogy) after the teasers. It was so good I just cant wait!!!

 Due to sexual content and heavy subject matter, this book (and blog post) is recommended for ages 18+

Publication Date: January 15, 2013

Book #2 of the 'This Man' Trilogy.

5+ Stars

She knew she was heading towards disaster. Every instinct told her to run, but Jesse Ward was a hard man to escape.

It has been five days’ since Ava O’Shea left Jesse drunk and raging at Lusso – left behind a man who drowned her in his intensity and blindsided her with his touch. Getting over this man was never going to be easy.

And now he’s back in her life.

She has questions that she needs answering, but her determination to get these answers will give the pleasure-seeking playboy the power to destroy her again. She needs to keep her eyes wide open and caution at the forefront of her mind - an ambitious intention when Jesse Ward is within touching distance.

And he plans to be.

He’s dark, he’s broken – Ava knows this, but the only way to find out how dark and how broken is to get beneath the steely exterior of this man.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

‘You’re mine, and mine alone, baby. Just for my eyes, just for my touch and just for my pleasure. Just mine. Do you understand me?’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 'You completely consume me, Ava. I can’t function without you. I’m totally addicted to you, baby.’ His voice is soft and unsure. My confident, domineering ex-playboy is nervous. ‘You own me. XXX XXX.’ (edited of SPOILER)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just for Fun

   My thoughts; I am completely and totally crazy mad in love with this series! I have literally been force feeding it to all of my book group girls and I have had a few takers. One is in love and wants to know where to find one of 'This Man' the other is infuriated with our Mr. Ward and her verdict is still out. I can't wait for them to finish book one and move on to this one.

  I fell hard for Jesse in book one. I found myself talking out loud to Ava on numerous occasions. Begging her to just say what she is thinking. And I found myself feeling the same way while reading this book. Why Ava? Why do you beg him to talk to you, but you can not open up to him?? I found myself getting so mad with Jesse because I knew he was lying to her or at the very least holding back.

  I am not  even going to deny that parts of this book tore my heart out. I also will not deny that parts of it made me fighting mad. I had to put the book down and remind myself that a certain hussy (who shall reman nameless) was a fictional character and I could not kick her ass. *deep cleansing breaths* I have a few theories where Ava's new 'pain in the arse' client and a current client are concerned but I will keep them to myself. I shall prepare my 'told ya so' for another day. 

  I am making it my personal mission to get every single person I know to read this book before the next book is released months-ish from now. 

ISH!!!!! *frustrated wail*

Happy Reading!! :-)

 Order Now Hopeless

 

Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies...

That's what Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she's never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past she wishes could just stay buried. 

Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he's nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn't at all who he's been claiming to be. When the secrets he's been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky's life will change forever.

Recommended for readers 17+ due to sexual content, harsh language and heavy subject matter involving abuse and other mature issues.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  I ball my fists and frantically look around for something else to throw. I grab pillows off the bed and chuck them at the reflection in the mirror of the girl I no longer know. I watch as the girl in the mirror stares back at me sobbing pathetically. The weakness in he tears infuriates me. We begin to run toward each other until our fists collide against the glass, smashing the mirror. I watch as she falls into a million shiny pieces on the carpet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  "What's your name?"

  "Breckin. And you are Sky. At least I hope you are. I guess I could have confirmed you identity before I spilled to you the details of my evil, sadistic plan to over take the school with our two person alliance."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( I usually only do two but I like this next one so.... Bonus!)

  "Also, I figured if we teamed up, we might prevent at least two unnecessary teenage suicides this year. So, what do you say? Do you want to be my very bestest friend ever in the whole wide world?"

  I laugh. How could I not laugh at that? "Sure. But if the book sucks, we're reevaluating the friendship."

The Lux series continues with the fourth installment of this riveting paranormal YA series. No one is like Daemon Black. When he set out to prove his feelings for Katy, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something she’ll do again and now that they’ve made it through the rough patches, well, there’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on. But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they loved. With help coming from the most unlikely source and Adam’s death still lingering with those who loved him, friends will become the deadliest of enemies and the villains will no longer be clear. When each step they take in discovering the truth puts them in the path of the secret organization responsible torturing and testing hybrids, the more Katy realizes there is no end to what she’s capable of. They won’t turn back, even if the outcome will shatter their worlds forever.

"There you go. That ego of yours getting in the way,” I teased.His lips found the underside of my jaw. “Of what?”“The perfect package.”He snorted. “Let me tell you, I have the perfect—”
 “Don’t be gross.” I shivered, though, because when he kissed the hollow of my throat, there was nothing flawed about that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   My heart tripped up. There were so many times I wondered if Daemon could read minds. He could be amazingly spot-on when he wanted. I tilted my head back against his shoulder, wondering how he’d gone from douchebag extraordinaire to this…this guy who still infuriated me but also constantly surprised and amazed me.  To this guy I'd fallen madly in love with.

Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay

Paperback release by Atria books - June 4, 2013 

 

    I live in a world without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or shape shifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where people die and music disintegrates and things suck. I am pressed so hard against the earth by the weight of reality that some days I wonder how I am still able to lift my feet to walk.

Former piano prodigy Nastya Kashnikov wants two things: to get through high school without anyone learning about her past and to make the boy who took everything from her—her identity, her spirit, her will to live—pay.

  

    Josh Bennett’s story is no secret: every person he loves has been taken from his life until, at seventeen years old, there is no one left. Now all he wants is be left alone and people allow it because when your name is synonymous with death, everyone tends to give you your space.

   

   Everyone except Nastya, the mysterious new girl at school who starts showing up and won’t go away until she’s insinuated herself into every aspect of his life. But the more he gets to know her, the more of an enigma she becomes. As their relationship intensifies and the unanswered questions begin to pile up, he starts to wonder if he will ever learn the secrets she’s been hiding—or if he even wants to.

The Sea of Tranquility is a rich, intense, and brilliantly imagined story about a lonely boy, an emotionally fragile girl, and the miracle of second chances.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  My relief only lasted so long before I realized that he had positioned himself directly across the circle from me so that every time I lifted my head I couldn't help but see him and his I-can -make-you-a-woman eyes and his I-know-what-you-look-like- under-your-clothes smirk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  The only three things I know for certain happened last night are that one, small elves climbed up my body and tied my hair into a mass of knots; two, I must have slept with my mouth open because something crawled into it and died; and three, I was sucked through a vortex into some animated world where an avil was dropped on my head.

    Young interior designer Ava O’Shea has an appointment for a first consultation at The Manor with the owner, Mr Jesse Ward. She is expecting nothing more than an overweight, cravat wearing, well-to-do countryman, and on arrival, nothing would suggest otherwise. How wrong could she be? This Man is devastatingly handsome, charming and confident. He is also a conceited, hedonistic playboy, who knows no boundaries. Ava desperately does not want to be attracted to him, but she can’t control the overwhelming affect he has on her. Every instinct is telling her to run, so she does, but Jesse Ward is not so willing to let her go. He wants her and is determined to have her. She knows she is heading for heartbreak, but how can she run when he won’t let her?

**Teasers contain sexually suggestive content and language**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   'I look forward to hearing from you, Ava.' His husky voice rolls over my flesh as he joins me at the bottom of the stair, putting his hand out. I take it in mine for fear that if I don't, he may well clench me and place his lips on me again.

   'You have a lovely hotel.' I say genuinely.

 I'm beginning to wish that my handbag contents consisted of a spare pair of knickers, a blindfold, ear plugs and some armor. I might have been more prepared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Just tell me one thing before you leave, Ava.' His voice prickles at my senses, and I  find my eyes travelling up the leanness of his body until our stares meet. His face is serious, but still stunning. 'How loud do you think you'll scream when I f*ck you?'

He raised his eyebrows, clearly amused. "I didn't do anything," he said. "Totally not my fault."

  "Stop being so..."

  "Charming? Attractive? Irresistible?"

  "I was gonna say arrogant."

  "Or maybe it's just that Oliver is in her pocket all the time," Shane said. "I am saying pocket because there's a deceased minor present, but by pocket I mean pants."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, so I usually only do two but since they are both Shane.... coincidence? probably not..... I am doing an extra one. Maybe a litttle Michael?? Yeah.....

  "Relax," she said, an held his gaze. " I know I could do it. But I won't. I know it would put you in a bad position, for one thing. Props for not saying that, by the way."

   "It wouldn't matter what happen to me," he said, and brushed the hair back from her face with gentle fingers. "You know that."

A beautiful Cajun woman seeking penance for her children’s death, steps out of her shell and helps a bum.

Jewel puts ten years of therapy to use by playing good Samaritan one day. Overhearing the town boys talk about pulling a prank on the bum who pushes his shopping cart around town painting murals on the tired country stores, she decides to warn him.

At the rundown building where the bum seems to stay, she's shocked to be greeted with a clean shaven man wearing only jeans, a compelling smile, and endless sex appeal. Jewel is suddenly like a bumbling teenager with hormones she’d thought were destroyed by her abusive ex.

When Johnny meets Jewel and sees that her beauty is far more than skin deep, he can't resist answering the need so plain in her eyes. But surrendering to Johnny’s fiery love will mean releasing the guilt of her past sins that refuse to let her live.

The following teasers are rated PG-13 for language

"Hi There."
   I screamed and spun around to the deep voice just behind me, only to scream again and spin back the other way. Oh shit oh shit oh shit! Half naked man behind me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I should get a shirt on."

   I choked out a gasp, horrified, Horrified that is was quite obvious to him how much he affected me, "Oh, pffft, not at all, you're fine," I said, making it clear that it was utterly unnecessary.
   He grinned, "Well thank you."
"I meant, I'm fine, as in not bothered, it doesn't bother me, I see mean all the time like that around here, everybody goes around in the summer time with out shirts."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I kinda feel as though I should pat myself on the back for this one. Do you all know how hard it is to find teasers, well PG-13 rated teasers, in an erotic romance. *heehee*

   "Why can't I? It's my dream... my head." My tone was a little irritated, but I couldn't help it.

   Darren shook his head, holding my gaze. "Because it's stupid. You'll only hurt yourself. All of this is stupid. You should be letting us go, not pulling us tighter"
