EROTICA**** Sinful Rewards 7 by Cynthia Sax

Blurb

Bee Carter has been offered everything she has ever dreamed of—a caring, lasting relationship with a handsome, often charming billionaire; the permanent home she's never had but has always craved; and wealth to buy the designer fashions she loves, support her hard-working mother, and ensure her acceptance by Chicago's elite.

To obtain what she's desired for so long, she has to do only two things: Walk away from her best friend, a woman who is destined to betray her … and end her passionate nightly encounters with a certain tattooed biker, a former Marine who can never give her what she needs.

Her answer should be clear, but the heart has a way of complicating even the most straightforward decisions.

My Review

Where to begin, WOW doesn’t even cover this one. Bee gets a big surprise and a question she is nowhere near ready to answer. Secrets are reviled, some I had already guessed but others were so cool I nearly fell off my bed. Hawke is such a fantastic guy that I always love reading the séance with him, this time I was very happy to look forward to Nicolas. With Cyndi back there is so much fun and jokes to be had, and again a decision Cyndi is faced with.

Cynthia Sax’s books are Erotica and filled with more sex then I am used to but she also makes sure it happens naturally. The feelings of the characters are real and progress as per the people. This is what keeps me coming back for more. I love reading about the people and their lives, in our day and age it is not easy keeping people focused on a story, Cynthia gives us just enough and as I have said before ends it in just the right spot.

There are still many mysteries left to this series, Who is Friendly? Will Bee leave? Will she have to leave the people she loves behind? Only 5 more months of books to go and all will be reviled!!

BLOG TOUR: Love Me If You Dare by Toni Blake

Blurb

USA Today bestselling contemporary romance author Toni Blake continues her new, heartwarming series set in the beachside town of Coral Cove.

When the question is love, the answer is always yes…

Camille Thompson is the best at what she does-closing deals. That’s why real estate developer Vanderhook has sent her to Coral Cove, Florida, where the stubborn owner of the Happy Crab Motel is refusing to sell. Camille’s never had a problem turning a “no” into a “yes”, but then she’s never been so captivated by a man’s sexy smile before.

Laidback Reece Donovan likes life simple. No amount of money - or any other temptation Camille can offer - will convince him to give up the one link to his past. Of course, it would be easier without the powerful chemistry raging between them.

As a fragile romance begins to grow, can Reece trust Camille with his secrets? And when promises are broken, along with hearts, can the charm of Coral Cove help bring them back together?

My Review:

Toni has always written stories that grab and make us want more. This book did that for me in the first few chapters. I am a fan of intertwining book, when we get to ‘see’ past characters we grew to love and Toni delivers this. You get to find out how the Destiny crew is doing and anyone who has not read those books, it alright you have time ;-) You can read then to know who certain people are but it is not a must, Toni writes so well and explains flawlessly who people are that this could be a stand-alone(not my recommendation though).

In her second Coral Cove book, we get to know more about Reece Donovan who was one of my favorite Coral Cove residents from the first book. Owner of the Happy Crab motel and born and raised in the town Reece is happy to keep his life just as it is. Unfortunately Camille Thompson works for the company that wants his motel. They have made a lot of offers but none as extreme as what Camille comes to tell him about. She is the one the company sends in when they have “Holdouts” people who refuse to sell. She is good at her job and has never taken more than a few hours to close a deal, until she meets Reece. He is determined to keep his run down, no guest motel and she has to figure out why.

As Camille or Cami as Reece calls her to annoy her, gets to know Reece more she starts to see why it’s better to close early and run. Reece opens Cami up to emotions she though buried and beyond her. She wonders what her life is really about these days and starts to wonder if she has been missing something. With Reece’s love for his home and a motel that has been in his family for generations on the line he fights his feeling for Cami. The hard nose executive only out for his Motel was a lot easier to resist than the friendly, someone out of her element sexy women he get to know. Will Camille risk her job to be with Reece or will he sell to keep her? What happens in this book will keep you turning the pages (or swiping them). What a great ending!

Keep reading Toni Blake’s series and stand-alone books. She is an amazing writer with and gives us a depth to the characters that make them last in our memories.
