Release Day Broken by Cynthia Eden

“Broken” By Cynthia Eden




Broken

(Lost Series, Bk #1)

By Cynthia Eden



Blurb:
The first novel in New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden’s sizzling LOST series introduces the Last Option Search Team, an elite unit that must protect the only surviving victim of a serial killer.


Ex-SEAL and LOST founder Gabe Spencer is accustomed to the unusual in his job. But when knockout Eve Gray steps into his office, he’s rattled. For the mysterious woman is a dead ringer for the heiress thought to be the latest prey of the serial killer who goes by the name Lady Killer.

When Eve awoke in an Atlanta hospital, her past was a blank slate. Then she recognized her own face in the newspaper and vowed to learn the truth. Determined to confront the nightmares hidden in her mind, she never expects to find a partner in Gabe.

As Gabe and Eve work together, their explosive attraction becomes irresistible. Gabe knows that his desire for Eve is growing too strong, bordering on a dangerous obsession, but nothing pulls him away from her. And when another Eve lookalike disappears, Gabe vows to protect Eve at all costs. While Eve may have forgotten the killer in her past, it’s clear he hasn’t forgotten her.

 Excerpt


“Do you think I’m a con artist or a victim?”



“I think you’re a woman who has been hurt.” No denying that. “One of my team members, Wade Monroe, is contacting the Montgomery family. We’ll get DNA from them and find out—”



“If I’m Jessica.” There was hope in the words. Enough hope to break his heart.



Gabe nodded.



“When will we know?”



It would take a few days, even with the strings that he could pull. “As soon as possible,” he said, not wanting to give her a specific timetable.



“Thank you.” Then, just like that, she was across the car, giving him a tight hug. “Thank you.”



His arms wrapped around her, an instinctive response. She smelled faintly of flowers, a sweet scent that teased his nose, and her body was soft against his.



She tried to pull away, as if realizing what she’d just done.



For an instant he was tempted to hold her, to keep her close.



She’s a client. Focus.



He let her go, but his body ached.



“I … um … I should get inside.”



Yes, she should. While he was still clutching tight to his control. The control that said he shouldn’t push her. Shouldn’t want her so much. Not when she’d already been hurt so badly.



Her fingers reached for the door.



“Let me,” he said, voice rumbling, and Gabe climbed from the Jag. In seconds he was on the passenger side, opening her door for her. She rose, and her body brushed against his.



He stepped back. Distance. He seriously needed to put some distance between then. But even with some fast steps back, he could still smell that light and sexy scent that clung to her body. 



And he still wanted her.



“Your shrink asked me a lot of questions about you,” Eve told him as she stood temptingly close.



Gabe inclined his head. “I’m sure—”



“I think she wanted to know why I respond so much to you.”



Oh, hell, she’d just said … He cleared his throat even as part of his body surged in quick response to her. “It’s a tense situation, you’re—”



“You don’t look at me as if I’m a victim.”



He stopped talking.



“I mean, you know what I am, but you still look at me and seem to just see me … as a woman.”



“Others see you the same way.” Doc Tyler sure did. Bastard.



“It’s different with you,” she murmured as she stepped even closer to him. Her head had tilted back so she could look into his eyes. “I don’t know what I’ve felt for other men before.”



Why did the idea of others have his body knotting with tension?



“But I know that when I see you, I want.” A hushed confession. “I just … I needed to tell you that.”



And he needed to make his self-control a hell of a lot stronger. Her lips were just inches from his, and he wanted her mouth beneath his. Wanted her lips open. Needed to taste her.



“You’re the first man I’ve wanted since I opened my eyes in that hospital.”



He could actually feel his control splintering. Client. Cli—



“You probably don’t want me. I—I might not be your type.”



Now her gaze had fallen, as if in embarrassment. Had she really just asked if she was his type? 



She was probably every damn man’s type.



“But you make me feel normal again, so I had to tell you—”



His fingers curved under her chin. “Eve …”



Her smile was a little too big. Too bright. “I don’t think I can handle anything else right now, I’m …” She pulled away. Stumbled onto the sidewalk. “I just wanted to tell you how I felt,” she told him again.



Then she walked into the shelter, her steps hurried. As if she were running.



From him.



He stared after her. She wanted him.



And she was so beyond his reach.

Review: Rock Addition by Nalini Singh

Rock Addiction (Rock Kiss, #1)Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A bad boy wrapped in a sexy, muscled, grown-up package might be worth a little risk…

Molly Webster has always followed the rules. After an ugly scandal tore apart her childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch that could become an addiction.

A one-night stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant to be…

Fox promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend their one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone forever, his life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin and sensual indulgence, all with an expiration date. No ties, no regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it isn’t only her body that’s become addicted to Fox, but her heart…

I don't read a lot of contemporaries but I've come to the firm conclusion that I'd read tech manuals if Nalini wrote them. I was given Rock Hard for a review and I liked it so much I went and bought the other novel and novella in this series. I wasn't disappointed. I believe this was better than Rock Hard. If you love emotional stories with hot men and tougher than they think heroines you need to read this series. But fair warning if you buy one you might as well buy the rest.

Review: Figure of Speech by Dana Marie Bell

Figure of Speech (Halle Shifters, #4)Figure of Speech by Dana Marie Bell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When two hearts speak as one, no words are needed.

Chloe Williams has waited four long years for her mate to acknowledge her. Time and again he has turned her away for being too young, even when she was hospitalized, recovering from a beating that left lingering after effects. Now that he’s been turned into a Wolf, his mating instincts are kicking in big time. Chloe has to decide if it’s worth risking her heart yet again.

Ten years older than Chloe and dealing with issues she knows nothing about, veterinarian James Woods is about ready to howl in frustration. He’s been drawn to Chloe since she was a radiant nineteen-year-old college student, but the age difference held him back from making a move on her. Now his Wolf wants what’s his, and Jim is finally in a place where he can claim her.

Between meddling mothers, Hunter brothers, and a mystery that threatens to end Chloe’s life, they might find an opportunity to tell each other just how they feel. Or find themselves separated by more than just misunderstood words.

Warning: This book contains explicit sex, graphic language, and two people who finally get their damn act together

I love this series. And this one was no exception. If you like sassy heroines, loving alpha males, zany humor, with a huge heaping helping of paranormal this series is for you. So go grab this this book and if you not read the others get them too. You won't be disappointed.

This is the first book I've read by this author and it was a very interesting take on vampires. I liked the world she created and the characters especially Kristin. I thought she was one smart tough cookie. It seems that we learned more about her and not as much as about Julian and especially Alex. I thought that Kristin living a past life and knowing them as Calista added interest to the story. When I read the blurb for this book I started reading this with certain expectations but Stacey flipped that around on me. I was completely surprised with some of outcomes at the end of this book. After reading this to the end I would have liked to learn more about the bad guy. He just seemed so one dimensional and I think we got little bits of the story and I'd like to have learnt the reasoning behind some of his issues in more depth. One of the things that irked me about this book was the way Gina who was Kristins BFF when she was Calista acted about her daughters death. As a mom I don't think I'd even remotely have acted like that. But it was a great world, interesting story, and even those I had issues with a couple of the characters I give this book 3 1/2 stars I received this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Review: Alpha's Truth by Rebecca Royce

Alpha's Truth (Fallen Alpha, #2)Alpha's Truth by Rebecca Royce

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Montana Alpha Beaux Nelson believes in living his life the way werewolves were meant to—as naturally and free as possible. He honors the moon with every hunt and breath in his body. When he discovers his true mate is the healer of another pack, he’s determined nothing will come between them—not even her kidnapping. Pursuing her across the continent, Beaux will take any risk to claim the woman meant for him…but surviving her rejection is another matter.

Lake Fennell has never thrived as a healer should, her gift acts out, she changes others without their permission and has failed to save those precious to her. When she discovers Beaux may very well be her true mate, she flees rather than face the possibility. In her haste, she falls into the arms of the True Believers. Months of torture later, she can barely believe it when she wakes to find herself with the one man she shouldn’t want and can never have. In order to save them both, she must leave her true mate, knowing she might not leave his heart in tact. But if she doesn’t do what she was born to do everything will be lost…including the world she’s fought the hardest for

This was the first book I've read by Rebecca Royce and I must say it was good one. Beau was the kind of hero that you wanted. He was smart, sexy, and loyal to a fault. My only issue with him was that he was a traditionalist and lived in the middle of nowhere. And like Lake I assumed that meant living in a run down cabin a with not a lot of amenities. But we were fooled. I loved his home and his pack. Beau is tickled pink with Lake. He likes everything about her especially her being a healer. But Lake is not convinced and thinks that with where he lives and the issues she's having with her healing powers that it would be best to just not accept the mate bond

Thus the first part of this book deals with Lake being a typical female wolf an running from Beau which is what females do when they meet their true mate. They run and the males chases. But in this chase her running got her caught by the True Believers and they are a nasty piece of work. They hold her hostage an torture and abuse her until finally Beau frees her. But all is not as it seems and if sometimes something seems too easy there is usually a reason for it and in this case not a very good one.

I'm going to give away the ending but just saying she puts you through the wringer before you get your happy ever after lol. But since it is all good with this couple in the end I'm fine with that. There was one minor issue with this book and it was that it was a second book in a series and you could tell. It wasn't bad but there was just a feeling of not being in the loop so to speak but it was minor so I am still giving the book 4 stars.

Review: Rock Hard Review and Giveaway






 

 
 

Meet Gabriel (sexy rugby player turned CEO) & Charlotte in this fantastic addition to the Rock Kiss Series!

 

NOW AVAILABLE!

Amazon US:  http://amzn.to/1BXhHWB






 


 
Blurb
   
In New York Times Bestselling author Nalini Singh’s newest contemporary romance, passion ignites between a gorgeous, sinfully sexy man who built himself up from nothing and a shy woman who has a terrible secret in her past…

Wealthy businessman Gabriel Bishop rules the boardroom with the same determination and ruthlessness that made him a rock star on the rugby field. He knows what he wants, and he’ll go after it no-holds-barred.

And what he wants is Charlotte Baird.

Charlotte knows she’s a mouse. Emotionally scarred and painfully shy, she just wants to do her job and remain as invisible as possible. But the new CEO—a brilliant, broad-shouldered T-Rex of a man who growls and storms through the office, leaving carnage in his wake—clearly has other plans. Plans that may be equal parts business and bedroom.

If Charlotte intends to survive this battle of wits and hearts, the mouse will have to learn to wrangle the T-Rex. Game on.

My Review:
Game on indeed. This was the first contemporary book of Nalini Singh's that I have had the pleasure of reading. I have devoured every one of her Psy/Changeling and Angel books and when I was given the opportunity to review one of her contemporaries I jumped on it. I was not definitely not disappointed. Even though this is the second book in the series it can be read quite easily as a standalone. I had no problems on that score. If I hadn't know that this was the second book I'd wouldn't have guessed it from anything in this book.

T-Rex aka Gabriel was one of my favorite heroes He is sexy, smart, protective and loyal and with a just a touch of issues. He also has a wonderful family that is loving and fabulous. That was very good because Charlie has problems of her own. Her ex from Hell being her biggest issue. Through most of the book she is portrayed as Charlie "mouse" but I really liked that Gabriel called her Ms. Baird and believed that she could handle anything. By the end of the book she lived up to that name perfectly. T-Rex has met his match and I was so very very enamored with this book. I was given this book by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. I give it a perfect 5 stars and am off to get the first book.

Excerpt and Giveaway: Ariel by Donna McDonald








Paranormal
Date Published: February 16, 2015

 photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png




Despite her sharp scientific mind and her degree in bio-molecular genetics, Dr. Ariel Jones hasn’t figured out how her life changed so much in a single day. Before she can blink and ask about what is going on, she’s being shot with a billion nanos and some very potent wolf blood.

Now she can suddenly turn into a giant white wolf with the bloodlust of a starving animal. And she’s an alpha wolf…or so she is told by the even larger, very male, black wolf who was used to create her. Hallucination? She wishes. Whether human or wolf, Reed talks in her head and tells her how to handle things…or rather how to kill them…starting with the men who hold them all captive. Too bad he can’t tell her how to put her life back like it was.

Admittedly, there are perks to being a werewolf, such as meeting sexy werewolf guys like Matthew Gray Wolf. It’s not like the science labs were overrun with sexy men in white coats. She also doesn’t mind learning about a side of herself she never knew existed. It's great changing into a real wolf whenever she wants, but being a living experiment wasn’t part of the scientific career she’d planned for herself. Neither was falling for the local werewolf alpha, but what else is a newbie werewolf caught in her burning time going to do?





EXCERPT

Ariel shook with cold as she came up out of a deep, drugged sleep. Naked and shivering, she determined that she was lying on a small cot.

As she struggled to open her eyes, she could just barely make out the forms of Dr. Crane and his white-coated asswipe of an assistant. They were staring into the cages where they’d stashed the other two women who had been captured alongside her. There was a bunch of growling and hissing which kept getting louder as the men talked.

Dr. Crane looked extremely pleased with whatever was happening. The knowledge pissed her off, but her dark thoughts of doing vicious and hideously cruel things to both men surprised her.

Ariel lifted a pale hand in front of her face, which blurred out of focus, but finally came back in. So far, nothing overly unusual had happened to her body, unless you counted the sick headache she had at the moment. She felt strange though—very strange. Her stomach growled with fierce hunger and there was a steady fire burning between her legs. Those two white-coated bastards had better not have touched her. If they did, she was cutting off their man parts and throwing them in the recycler. Later, when she was more alert, she promised herself she would check her body closer.

A loud clanging against the bars of her cage had her covering her ears. Sound—all sound—hurt terribly and increased her headache. A percussion band played in her head as she fought the pain.

“I’m afraid your doctoral thesis is now a complete failure, Dr. Jones. Apparently, the metamorphosis strand is a deterrent to transpecies mutation as well as being something to shorten a person’s life. Now I have to decide what to do about you. We can’t just turn you loose in society and have you telling everyone what we’re up to here. You were certainly a waste of a couple billion very expensive nanos we can’t get back. Sadly, you’ve become the only failure case, rather than the pinnacle of our success.”

It took her a lot of effort, but Ariel finally managed to manipulate her hand enough to get her middle finger to stand up alone. Crane’s laugh at her silent rebellion grated on every nerve she had, not to mention how much his voice hurt her ears.

“When I get out of here, I may kill you just to watch you hurt,” Ariel croaked, her mouth dry as dust.

Crane laughed harder and walked away. At his departure, the growling and hissing in the cages next to her ceased. When the room was totally silent once more, she drifted back into a peaceful oblivion where she could pretend nothing had happened.

***

Dr. Jones—Ariel. Wake now, but do not shift. Wake in human form. Think of yourself as human and you will be one.

Ariel rolled to her side on the canvas cot and tried to pull the scratchy cover she’d found over her naked body. Even with her knees scrunched up, it was far too short. She covered her eyes with a hand as she fought off the nightmares which were now continuously talking to her. There must have been hallucinogens in what they gave her.

I am not a hallucination. I am Reed—a three hundred year old alpha. You are a two day old version. It is very wise of your wolf to hide itself from those who seek to harm you.

Ariel groaned and rolled to the other side. “Head hurts. Stop talking to me.”

I know you are in pain, but you must fight off the drugs now. Crane returns soon. He is planning to move you to another facility and dissect your body to find out why conversion failed with you. They have identified another experiment victim and she arrives tomorrow. You must rescue the others and kill Crane before he can turn more.

“Kill Crane? Sure. I’d love to do that,” she repeated, covering her eyes with her hands.

Yes. I regret the extremeness of the step, but Roger Crane must not be allowed to continue his work. You will have to destroy the lab as well. Accidents happen all the time in Alaska. I doubt Feldspar Research will fund any other scientist if we completely destroy the proof of Crane’s success.

“O—K.” she said groggily, working her body into an upright position. Sitting up hurt as much as anything else did. “And I thought my divorce was traumatic. Either my nightmares are getting bossy or I’m hearing real voices in my head.”

Putting a hand up to her head, she rubbed the base of her skull where they had shot something into her brain stem.

“Hey nightmare, since we’re on a speaking basis, do you know what the hell Crazy Crane shot me with in the back of my head?”

My blood—I believe. He took it at the pinnacle of my wolf’s lunar cycle. Since I was already in my wolf form when he caught me, hitting the lunar pinnacle was evidently strong enough to cause a species turning. I had heard the legends, but human turnings have not been done since the middle ages. Packs prefer to propagate organically. Unfortunately, Crane found a way to take the choice from me.

Ariel laughed. Her intuition spoke to her all the time, but it usually didn’t announce she was a wolf in human form. “Hey Nightmare, are we going to keep talking in my head?”

Yes. I am your alpha. You are an alpha in training. So yes—we will talk in your head—until we can do so differently. I cannot shift from my wolf until the bullets and collar are removed from me. Silver has a restraining effect.

“Being shot with your blood doesn’t make you my dad or anything, does it?” Ariel could have swore her nightmare wolf tried to laugh. He huffed like a dog doing it.

No. But it does make you my responsibility until you take a mate who can look out for you. Being part of a pack is like having a large family. I think you might like it once you understand it.

Ariel snorted. “So I’m an alpha. Does being alpha mean you’re top dog or something?”

We are canis lupis, not dogs. Alaska is home to more than eleven thousand wolves. More than half are what humans call werewolves. This is what you have become, Ariel Jones. You are now both human and wolf, as are the other two females. They are your charges and the first of your pack. They are your responsibility and will look to you for guidance on how to adjust to their new lives.

His comments—which she was starting to believe weren’t just voices in her head—had Ariel standing on wobbly legs and walking to the bars of her prison. In the cages next to hers, two multi-colored wolves paced restlessly. They were less than half the size of the black wolf, but still real enough to convince her she wasn’t just having a nightmare. Oh no—she was living one.

“Brandi. Heidi. Relax. We’re going to escape. I promise.” When both multi-colored wolves sat and turned to her expectantly, Ariel shook her head. She knew their names and could command their obedience. Though she’d never been a person given to swearing, there were no normal words to express the enormity of her shock. Was she truly going to one day be a wolf as well?

“Un—fucking—believable,” she whispered. She turned her head until she saw the edge of the giant black wolf as he leaned against one side of his cage. “Reed? Is the giant black wolf you?”

Yes, Ariel. The giant black wolf is me. You should see the alpha of the Wasilla Pack. Matt’s wolf is even bigger.

She felt like peeing herself when the black wolf turned his head and met her gaze like a human would during a conversation. He had the greenest eyes she’d ever seen on a man or animal. They were filled with a kind of determination she’d never felt before, but had a feeling she was about to get an education in it.

Crane returns. I know it is him. His stench will haunt me for the next hundred years of my life.

“Okay. I’m wide awake now and mostly willing to believe you,” she said, hoping all three wolves understood she was working her way to acceptance as fast as she could. She went back to her cot and huddled under the short cover. “Hey Reed, did I get bigger or something?”

Yes. And you are strong enough to kill the men who will be trying to kill you. You have to try, Ariel. It is important to me that you and the other women survive. When they open the cage to take you out of it, call your wolf to help. She will be more than happy to answer. I’ve been helping you hold her back until the time was right.

“My mind is having a hell of a time trying to believe all of this is real, but I’m sure as hell not ready to die. Let’s say I believe you. What does my wolf look like?”

Until she comes, none of us will know. I just hope she’s big and strong. Rest now and pretend to be weak. You do not want them to know what you really are until it is too late.

Ariel leaned back on the cot and tried to look as pathetic as possible so her captors would believe she was just as harmless as they assumed she was.

Inside, she was praying that Reed—or whatever inner voice was helping her survive—was right about her being able to free them all.
