Blurb/Summary:

One gigantic mistake threatens to bring Carlie Steven's world crumbling down. Everywhere she turns she's faced with reminders of the drunken moment leaving her friendless, expelled from her Ivy League College. With Jackson out of the country singing for the troops, his empty home will give her the breathing room she needs while coming up with a game plan to fix her situation.

Playing guitar used to be enough for Jackson Laurant. For years he's played the part of not giving a fuck. Too many one night stands in the bag leave him wanting what his two friends have found. With only a handful of shows left on the tour, his mind wanders to the off limits Carlie Stevens. For years, he’s denied the brewing attraction. When he finds she’s taken up residence in his home. He may have the in he’s wanted for too many years to count.

Review:

Kiss Me Like You Mean It is a nice follow up story for Shut Up and Kiss Me.  It is a standalone story, but there is a lot of history from the previous story mentioned in this new one.  The reader gets to revisit characters, get some follow up information, and see where the next story might lead.

Jackson Laurant is a member in Carlie Steven’s brother’s band.  They’ve known each other since they were both children.  They share some history, but their family situations couldn’t be more different.  They are both products of their environments and how they evolved and thrived alone is tested in this story.  Their friendship blossoms into love after some serious trials and errors.

The result is some explosive sexual tension that threatens to end what they just started.  Carlie and Jackson set fire to the pages as they find their balance.

This is an erotic romance, but also a journey into a maturing friendship that will support Carlie and Jackson into the future.

Blurb/Summary:

Ex-DEA agent Erin Montgomery is reluctantly back on the job, posing as the sex-kitten groupie girlfriend of rock star Sean Ledger. She’ll be joining his band’s tour to try to catch an obsessed, dangerous fan. Tormented by nightmares of her failed last assignment, Erin’s not exactly eager to be drawn back into the fray. But once she meets Sean, all rocker, all man and dripping with raw sex appeal, she knows she’s right where she belongs.

Sean is reluctant to have someone investigating his crew, but when he meets Erin, his objections fly out the window. The beautiful, hard-bitten agent turns him on like no other woman ever has. Sean’s caught glimpses of the fiery passion lurking under Erin’s cool front and he’s determined to break through her hard exterior and make her his.

But Sean’s stalker is still at large and she’s made it clear she’s willing to stop at nothing—even murder—to get him.

Review:

What woman wouldn't want the job of going undercover, posing as a rock stars’ girlfriend? Erin, that's who. But her time off has come to an end after a tragedy, and she can't let her friend down.

Sean hides behind his music; he's a dark soul with his own tormented past. He uses music and sex to escape reality, but now someone is after him, damaging his things and threatening his life. He's not really sure what Erin can do, but he is sure that his attraction to her is intense, and that he wants her, needs her in his bed and eventually in his heart.

This is a strong erotic romance with suspense elements. Lots of graphic language as well, and the intensity of Erin and Sean's attraction is hotter than the boiling point. This is a good, solid story and I enjoyed it.

If you love erotic romances with suspense elements, then you may enjoy Love and Protect. Be warned, this is one hot story!

Blurb/Summary:

Rock star Gia Santora is at the height of her career when a frightening brush with a psychotic stalker changes her life. Three years later, she’s ready for more than a string of one-night stands on the road, but finding a date isn’t easy for a woman with a bodyguard. When she meets her sexy young opening act, he pushes all her buttons, sexually and emotionally.

Sin Carstens is rock’s hottest new guitar god with a body and a voice to match his name. He takes Gia on a wild sexual ride that has them literally rockin’ the tour bus. But Sin’s got priorities other than music and sex. He wants a relationship with the commitment-shy Gia. When the stalker gets loose and their lives are on the line, Gia pushes Sin away. But Sin’s willing to fight Gia’s fears in an effort to win himself the sexiest woman he’s ever known, and prove that he can rock her world.

Review:

Age is just a number. But for Gia, that number is beginning to get higher and higher. She's a famous rock star singer, overcomes a brush with a crazy stalker and doesn't expect to find more than a fling with the hot, new and younger opening act on tour with her. Sin is younger and views life and priorities much different than Gia, but he can't help the way he feels about her. Their sexual chemistry sizzles, and he wants to find a way to win her heart forever.

I enjoyed this story. I was intrigued by the famous rock star hero and heroine. Rock My World is full of emotion, hot sex scenes, and finding love at any age. I felt there could have been a little more story developing with Sin and Gia, and would have liked to have seen more plot with the stalker part, but overall it was very enjoyable.

If you enjoy a younger man/older woman story, rock star singers, and life on the road, then pick up Rock My World. It may very well rock yours.
