SYNOPSIS

She’s a fraud.

A woman marked and bound by her own deceit, this is the astounding tale of how one choice knocked her world from its axis forcing her to battle through a year of scandal and betrayal, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy.

This is an intoxicatingly risqué stand-alone true story tangled in lust, heartbreak, and contrition.

Author Anonymous is based entirely on real events that transpired in the life of another New York Times best-selling romance author. Blair was approached by Anonymous to pen the work, as it was perceived as too illicit, and possibly too damning, for Anonymous to write herself." -New York Daily Post

10 STAR REVIEW

I have to say this is hands down one of the scariest romance novels I have ever read. Why?? Because this could be me. This story could be lots of us. I actually breathe a little easier knowing that some of the thoughts I have while reading so many romance novels are the same thoughts others have. Not that it makes it any more acceptable. Becoming a blogger has been a blessing and a nightmare. A blessing because: 1) the obvious... my husband loves the new found sex life we have after being married for 17 years 2) I have come to love this world of fiction. And then there is the down side.... I have to constantly tell myself (as well as hear lots of others tell me)… THESE MEN DON'T EXIST. BOOK BOYFRIENDS DON'T EXIST. After reading sooooo many romance novels I started to second guess my relationship. Why can't my husband say those things. Why can't my husband look at me like that. Why can't I feel the electricity that she feels when he touches her? This book is so true it's scary. If you are an avid romance reader you will identify with this story. I found myself reading and then having to stop because I was getting freaked out. To be honest, I'm not sure most marriages would survive if the husbands were allowed a glimpse into the mind of romance reader/writer. I can tell you mine probably wouldn't. This story hits deep within the heart and soul of both a reader and a writer. After you read this story you will come to realize there is not much of a difference between us. We all want what we can’t have…and then we try to take it we realize just how screwed up we are. Happily ever after? I’m not sure, was it? I could say from previous experience with this amazing author, I was in for a seriously wicked and twisted and gut wrenching ending. But, considering this is a TRUE STORY I can’t blame the author. She spoke the truth and in the end you will have a hard time believing you just read the story of someone’s life that sounds so fake yet absolutely fucking real. This story is going to change the way people look at the world of romance writing. Next time you go to a signing or meet with your book club you will find yourself looking to the right and left of you thinking, ‘Is this story her, or her…’ because it could have been me. 10 stars

~Review by Stacey

New York Times, USA Today, and International Bestselling Author

E.K. Blair, takes her readers on an emotional roller coaster with her dynamic and intense writing style. Noted for her ability to create fleshed-out characters that will evoke a realm of reactions, you can be assured that her stories will linger with you far beyond the last word.

Aside from writing, E.K. Blair finds pleasure in music, drinking her Starbucks in peace, and spending time with her friends. She’s a thinker, an artist, a wife, a mom, and everything in between.

REVIEW

Can I just say that there is NOTHING hotter than a baseball romance. I mean, the game itself is amazing but when you factor in a sexy as hell third baseman you have a lethal combination.

A little bit of baseball, a little bit of romance and a whole lotta HOT. I love when a sports romance actually has a sports feel to it. The cover was a home run and the story was a grand slam! Just enough emotion without being heavy. Congrats and job well done!

Excerpt

Jogging up the stairs to the second floor, I sneak into the back row of the classroom. I pull out my laptop and quickly catch up with the professor’s lecture. The guy a couple seats down passes a syllabus over, and when I turn to thank him, I’m reminded that nothing comes easy in my life.

“Is there a reason you were holding my girlfriend’s hand?” Ella’s boyfriend whispers, sliding into the open seat between us.

Well…shit.

“She won’t be your girlfriend for long,” my cockiness answers for me. My arrogance is a great intimidator that’s always worked in getting me what I want.

“Who are you?”

As his beady eyes try to daunt me, I get an up close look at him. I can see why El might have fallen for him. He’s a safe bet. Probably riding the coattails of his family’s money, paving his way with his arrogant little bitch frat brothers. It only assures me of one thing. I don’t have to fight him for El. This guy wouldn’t start a fight if I fucked her right in the middle of his bed. El is just a trophy to him. He doesn’t love her like I do.

“I’m just an old friend. We have a long history together.” I glance at him from the corner of my eye, offering him a quick wink.

His knuckles whiten as he clenches his pen. It couldn’t be more satisfying, knowing I’m getting under his skin.

His annoyed expression tells me that Ella hasn’t been so open about her life and her past. This guy doesn’t have a shot.

“She’s taken, so keep your hands to yourself.”

A few heads flip around after his voice heightens.

Not needing a professor to hate me on day one, I lean in closer to whisper in his ear, “I can’t make any promises. It’s nothing personal, believe me, but technically, she’s always been mine.” I ease back against my chair right as the professor’s eyes catch mine.

Liam’s head whips around, and I wait for him to ask me to take our discussion outside. But he cowers, like I knew he would.

“Try to steal her away from me, and see what happens,” he says.

“I’m not going to have to try hard. Your time with her was over the moment she saw me.”

The professor forcefully clears her throat, eyeing us. If we don’t end this conversation soon, we’ll both be kicked out.

“Don’t be so cocky, asshole. The fact that I don’t know anything about you, and the fact that she’s never mentioned your name, show what she really thinks of you.”

“You two”—the professor points, and a hundred pairs of eyes turn in our direction—“since you’re so chatty, maybe you should be conducting the lecture this morning?” She crosses her arms over her purple blouse and waits for our answer.

“Sorry, Professor Knight,” Douche Bag says.

“Sorry,” I say.

She nods and starts the lecture back up again, her eyes continuing to linger on us.

He slides over to his original seat.

I strike my earlier thought. I have no idea what El sees in this weak shithead.

I lean over the now vacant chair, testing my luck one final time. “Don’t worry. I’ll be around. We can continue this conversation soon.”

He scoffs me off, shaking his head. His fingers start tapping on the keys of his laptop as he accepts his defeat for this round.

Undisputed by A.S. Teague

Contemporary Sports Romance

SYNOPSIS

I live a life most could only dream of. Parties, women, fame—what more could I want?

As the undisputed MMA light heavyweight champ, I’ve faced the world’s toughest men. But, with a single glance, I knew that the five-foot-five redhead with a smart mouth and innocent eyes would be my hardest opponent yet.

Sidney O’Neil isn’t my type. While I spend my nights out drinking at the trendiest clubs in town, she spends hers taking care of her sick nephew. She lives for those she loves, and I only love myself. She is nothing I thought I wanted, yet she’s somehow become the one thing I need.

But what happens when the world is tipped on end and I’m no longer who she needs?

How do I convince her that we’re worth the fight when all she knows is defeat?

I’ve never lost a match, and I refuse to start now.

But, sometimes, the toughest fight of your life is outside the cage.

EXCERPT

I’m nervous about what I’m going to say. I’m not sure how she’ll react or if she will even believe me. Afraid I’ll chicken out, though, so I start talking.

“I’m sorry.” The words were surprisingly hard to get out. Apologizing is not something I’ve done often, and I’m not even sure I know how to do it properly.

Sidney raises her eyebrows and presses her lips together. I study her face for any indication of what she’s thinking and notice that her eyes are pink and puffy, like she’s been crying.

The guilt I’ve recently begun experiencing returns. I’m sure I’m the reason for her tears, and the thought of her crying because of me kills. I cup her jaw in my hand before lightly rubbing her cheek with my thumb.

Her eyelids flutter shut and she sighs while tilting her face into my palm. Her reaction gives me the fuel I need to keep going. I pull my hand away, but I’m not ready to stop touching her, so I grab her hand.

“I’m an asshole, Sid. I’ve always been a selfish prick. I’ve never had anyone care about me though, so I’ve always had to be the one to care about me the most. I’m used to doing what I want, getting what I want, and taking what I want. I don’t know how to care about others.” I scrub my palm over my thigh.

“That’s not true, Breccan. I’ve seen you—”

I cut her off with a shake of my head. “I’m a virgin, Sidney,” I say solemnly.

A short burst of laughter escapes her mouth, and she shakes her head. “Yeah, right, Breccan. Do I have ‘dumbass’ stamped on my forehead?” She laughs again.

I rush to explain myself. “Well, I mean, not a virgin virgin. I’m a relationship virgin. I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing here. Hell, I had more finesse the first time I had sex than I do with this whole boyfriend thing.”

Her eyes widen at the word boyfriend, but she only says, “Oh.” Then she takes her hand from mine and brings her thumb to her mouth to chew on the nail.

Disappointed at the loss of contact with her skin, I pull her hand out of her mouth and lace my fingers through hers once again. “After you left, I went to my favorite club.” I purposely leave the part about destroying my kitchen out. “I couldn’t even get out of the car, Sidney. I sat there staring at the people dying to get inside and all I could think about was that I was dying to get out of that life. I don’t want to go to the clubs anymore. I’m tired of that shit. I just want to be with you. Here. On this couch. Eating fucking sushi if that’s what you want.”

I grimace, and she giggles.

It’s the fucking truth. Sitting in my car outside of Raw, all I could think about was how desperately I wanted to feel Sidney’s lips on mine and have her scent in my nose. I would have gladly choked down a pound of that crap if it meant I could go back and undo our fight and what I’d said.

“I’m sorry I freaked out when you called yourself my girlfriend.”

Her face falls.

I use my free hand to tip her chin up before I confess, “I don’t know how to do this. I have nothing to compare this to.” I use my hand to gesture between us. “But I can tell you that I want you. I want to hear you laugh. I want to make you smile. I want to hold you when you cry.” I run my thumb across her cheek. “I can tell you that I need you. I need your mouth on mine, your hair in my hands, your skin under my fingertips” Taking a chance, I lean in and place a light kiss on her lips.

She doesn’t pull away, so I continue speaking.

“I can tell you that no one else makes me laugh the way you do. No one else makes me feel stronger than you do. I miss you all the fucking time, Sid. Every minute of the day that I’m not with you, I’m dying to see you. My phone dings and I hope it’s you. When it’s not, I’m always so fucking bummed.” Lifting my shoulders in a shrug, I admit, “I’ve never felt this way about another person before, and I’m fumbling around like a kid trying to cop his first feel in the dark. I didn’t realize until tonight that I want you to be my girlfriend. I want to do all the cheesy couple things that people do—with you. And, Sidney, I’m really sorry I didn’t remember you from the club. I don’t know how I could have possibly forgotten you. But it’s not because you are forgettable. Because, ever since you fell down your fucking stairs, I haven’t been able to get you out of my head. And I don’t want to.” I blow out a breath when I finish and glance away from her penetrating gaze.

MY REVIEW

Hard limits...we all have them. I have a few and if at all possible I stay the fuck away from them.

Far. Away.

I know my hard limits are not your limits. Everyone is different. But in the perfect book world (according to me), there would be in big letters WARNING...THIS BOOK CONTAINS YOUR HARD LIMIT. BE PREPARED TO CRY, NOT JUST CRY BUT UGLY CRY. YOU KNOW THAT HARD LIMIT

YOU STAY AWAY FROM? WELL IT'S ABOUT TO COME AT YOU LIKE A FREAKING FREIGHT TRAIN. YOU HAVE TO READ IT AND IT WILL GUT YOU TO PIECES. THIS STORY IS BASICALLY YOUR HARD LIMIT ON CRACK.

Yeah, so that is my story and I'm sticking to it. You want to ugly cry? The kind of ugly cry that makes your head hurt and stop up your nose? Well welcome to your next read.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ ~ SIX by Ker Dukey

Title: Six

Series: (Book 2) Men By Numbers 

Author: Ker Dukey 

Release Date: August 6, 2016

Synopsis 

I grew up in the foster system and bounced around from place to place. I know what you’re thinking. Bad things happened to me and fucked me up? Don’t feel bad for me. I didn’t know a privileged life, therefore I didn’t miss one. I was what I was and I made it work. I actually had a few good homes in my lifetime, met some good people, but that’s not what my story’s about. It’s not a Romeo and Juliet saga either, even if our stories do revolve around a similar basis. I knew a real love, a rare love, a love between two people that were never supposed to fall in love. Rival gang members are never allowed to fall in love and it cost us everything. The things I learned growing up the way I did is this: Love is deadly and often not real. People come and go and only the rare few stick around when shit gets tough. I learned the hard way what lurks behind false smiles, and that deceitful truths get whispered in sexual moans. I was taught that dark souls are not born but created, and you can avoid them, hide from them or learn and become them.

Revenge sculpted and molded me into the darkest of souls, and with my wrath comes agony and torment more severe than hell itself. I took out six of the men who hurt my woman and I will be coming for the rest. Get in my way and I’ll come for you too.

MY REVIEW

So, I loved everything about TEN. Knowing this was a continuation of the series and that I was going to get to know SIX better was a no brainer. I was in.

I knew from TEN that this story was not going to be for the faint of heart. Boy, was I right. It is raw. It is deep and at sometimes pure hell on earth.

“Taking turns to violate me, flipping me over to rape me at both openings…being held down and laughed at while animals take away your human rights, your dignity, your self-worth, your fucking soul isn’t something you get over.”

Intense to say the least, this story will gut you. Pure sadness for everyone involved. Which lead me to Taylor…aka SIX. One word comes to mind, loyal. This man will have you wanting to rip your hair out one minute and hold him, never wanting to let go, the next. A man who never thought he was enough but was everything.

“Maybe I don’t want to come back. Maybe I’m not worth saving. Nothing can stop me from getting Haley’s retribution. I won’t choose you, so don’t ask me to.”

Being inside his mind is absolutely heart breaking…

'I can’t breathe.

Everything is tight in my chest.

My world just left broken and I’m choking on every word left unspoken.

She will never know how much I love her.'

If you have tough skin and an even tougher heart, don’t hesitate to grab this book. Take a deep breathe, pause every now and then to take it all in and finish it. I promise you it’s worth it.

I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active… I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could have improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that i tell my own.

My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.

When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

You can find me on Facebook where I love interacting with my readers.
