SEAL of Her Dreams by Paige Tyler

Wrecked by Selena Kitt
Spoiled heiress Darcy Haverford and ex-military beach bum Daniel Colvin find themselves shipwrecked on a desert island and they discover the key to survival is both discipline and surrender.
Stormy Weather by Desiree Holt
The storm outside whipping the surface of the bay into whitecaps wasn’t nearly as intense as the one raging inside Zane Colby. The isolation of the cottage on the little island was exactly what he needed, a place to hide and deal with the disasters threatening to destroy him. He was a warrior and used to destruction and devastation, but this time it threatened to push him over the edge. He’d hope in this sequestered environment to reach down and find his humanity again. The last thing he needed was Dara, a waif who nearly drowned in the turbulent water in her haste to run from a violent situation. How would he manage with the two of them locked up together in this situation, a woman with the needs of a sub who had been abused, and him with the needs of a Dom that had nearly destroyed him? Was it possible that in the turbulence of the situation they could heal each other?
A Hero In Disguise by Alta Hensley
Kidnapped and brought to an isolated militia compound in the backwoods of West Virginia, Jessa Crowe realizes there is much more hidden in the dark depths of the hemlock trees.
She is surrounded by hate, sex, torture, and death. Only to be claimed by the devil himself—Decker Cassidy. But what Jessa soon discovers is that her captor may very well be her hero in disguise.
The SEAL’s Captive Bride by Sue Lyndon
In the aftermath of a horrendous war, former SEAL Rick Stanford catches a pretty little thief sneaking around the settlement he’s charged to protect. Rather than see Ally tried for her crimes, he protects her in the best way he knows how—by claiming the reluctant young virgin as his wife.
In His Hands By Maggie Ryan
Betsy Riddle considered it her patriotic duty to lift the spirits of soldiers fighting for their country. Little did she know that her newest pen-pal, Mr. Bossy, would be the one man who stole her heart. With every letter he received, Major Jackson Sommersby knew that the moment this horrid war ended, he’d be taking a certain little minx in hand and showing her that paradise was found in his arms.
Owned by the Marine by Renee Rose
He may live next door, but he sure as hell wasn’t the boy next door.
When Marine Sergeant Rob Gentry moves into his new apartment, the last girl he wants to date is his neighbor. Smoking hot and so cute it makes his teeth hurt, she’s not his type. Too sweet. Too innocent. Too vanilla. …or so he thinks.
Under His Command by Maddie Taylor
After twenty years in the field, Navy SEALs Commander Flynn Dalton is ready to put down roots. Settled at Coronado island, he trains new recruits by day while searching for his perfect submissive by night. Too bad the one woman he wants to claim as his own is too young, too shy, and too damn vanilla. Relegated to the friend zone by the man of her dreams, computer analyst Cassie Hardwick tries to jumpstart her dormant social life by attending a masquerade mixer at an exclusive BDSM club. Oblivious to what is right under their noses, both Flynn and Cassie are in for quite a surprise when the masks come off at Decadence LA.

A Little Love by Maren Smith

Their Runaway Bride by Vanessa Vale

Worth Fighting For by Zoe Blake

A Soldier to Cry On by Abbie Adams
Sergeant Anthony Jerard hunts down the wife of the soldier dying in the hospital bed next to him during the first days after he suffers a traumatic brain injury.

He’s told her that he’s just passing through, but as the seasons change, can she convince him to make their summer thing a little more permanent?
Bound By Her Captain by Kate Richards
The heat between a US Coast Guard Captain and a beautiful, brilliant Soviet scientist might do a better job of melting the polar ice than the ship when they combine forces to hunt down a possible sea monster in Cold War Era Alaska.
With One Hand Behind My Back by Cerise Noble
Irene’s determined to follow her Marine, Drew – the love of her life – everywhere. He leads, she follows; from duty station to duty station, from base to base. When he’s wounded, everything changes. Can she submit to a man who’s body was broken?
Exfil by Bethany Burke
Archeologist Emily Becker’s “simple and quick” clandestine trip into Syria to recover a precious artifact turns out to be neither. Stuck in a bombed out basement with some serious heat on her tail, she needs “exfil,” extraction from a dangerous situation by someone who knows what he’s doing.
Delta Force Mission Specialist Michael Duncan definitely knows what he’s doing. He would fit the bill except for one thing: he also knows Emily, and their history is not a happy one.
Emily doesn’t know if she’s in more danger from Michael or from terrorists, but she’s about to find out.
Aim for Pleasure by Yasmine Hyde
Kerrigan’s military career is coming to an end. At last she will be able to dedicate her time to the business she started years ago with her sister. She just has one more function to put on for the General she works for, then she’ll be bound for civilian life. The night before the event she lets her friends take her out to a bar to celebrate. When a moment of peace turns into a chance at passion, she is drawn in and taken on a ride of ecstasy. She never expects to see the mystery man from her one night of recklessness again, but when he turns up in the place she least expects him, she can’t keep him at arm’s length.
Jaxon returns from a mission just in time to celebrate his brother’s promotion. Hitting the road, he decides to catch up with an old buddy. A detour at a bar winds up being a night to remember. The next day the curvaceous beauty practically falls into his lap again, and seeing it as an opportunity to get to know her better, he pursues.
Can two warriors from two different branches of services, two different paths of life, really find the one in a wanton moment – and can it last for a lifetime?

Damn that was hot. *Fans Self* This is yet another case of
me absolutely misjudging the book from the blurb. I was expecting this sad,
emotional, angsty book with a tiny bit of sex thrown in around the tears and
pillow clenching and instead I got a serious case of wet panties with a few
emotional moments and a kick ass story.
Grady is a marine who is completely shattered and is
struggling to rebuild himself after a horrific injury when he meets Isa at a
random party and sparks fly. But both of them are dealing with their own issues
and don’t trust the connection or each other’s motives. Until they come
together and a deal is struck. Both thinking they are on safe ground and
protecting their hearts.
But this is of course a romance novel so after a huge dose
of some steamy hot sex and a few plot twists and turns Isa and Grady work out
their shit and make a perfect couple. I have to say the plot was really
interesting and not at all what I expected from the blurb. I loved that we
didn’t just hear about how Grady was broken, we actually saw it and it wasn’t a
“our love has cured all our issues” fix, he actually had to work at it.
And even though this was a reasonably short novel there was
a solid story line and a reasonable amount of character building between all
the sex and I really enjoyed it.

Trailer
Excerpt
We clink our glasses together then down the
shots. The groomsman passes me a lime wedge, but I shake my head, causing him
to pull me aside.
“My name’s Jared,” he says with a cocky smirk.
“I thought this was supposed to be a no-names
night?” I reply, giving him shit, even though I have no interest in him.
“It is. But for you, I’ll make an exception.
You need to know what name to say when I make you scream later.”
Cade comes up from behind Jared, clamping his
big hand down on Jared’s skinny shoulder.
Jared glances back at Cade. They share some
kind of a look that causes Jared to immediately ditch me. He saunters over to
Tory and throws his arm around her, which earns him a hint of a smile from
Cade.
“So does this mean you’re not married?” Tory
asks Jared.
“Nope, I’m single as a Pringle,” he replies.
I expect Cade to say something to me, but
instead he turns away.
I’m not sure what just happened, but I think
it was some guy-code thing.
And it pisses me off.
Tory sees the rage on my face, takes my hand,
and drags me off to the bathroom.
“What’s wrong?”
“Did you see that!?” I rant, as we step inside
the ladies’ room, finding a long line. “Cade cock blocked me! Not that I wanted
that guy’s cock, because you already called dibs on it, but Cade didn’t know
that!”
“Since you don’t have a cock,” she replies. “I
think it’s called blocking the box.”
“Oh, no,” the girl in front of us says. “It’s
called twat blocking.”
“I thought it was boxed,” another woman says.
“Baseball players call cock blocking stealing signs.”
A voice from inside one of the stalls yells
out, “It’s called clam jamming.”
Pretty soon everyone in the bathroom is giving
us their opinions.
“Twat swatting or twat
stopping.”
“Beaver dammed.”
“Va-jected!”
I shake my head at Tory. “Whatever. It really
shouldn’t matter what part you have. I got cock blocked because I will be
having no cock tonight.”
“There’s still time,” Tory says. “You can have
the groomsman. You need to get laid worse than I do, honey. It’s been far too
long.”
“But why would he cock block me and then walk
away?!”
As soon as the words tumble out of my mouth,
Cade’s mother steps out of one of the stalls.
I put my head down, hoping she won’t notice me
and, thankfully, she squeezes past us without saying a word.
“Holy buckets,” Tory says when the door closes
behind her. “Wasn’t that his mother?”
“Uh, yeah. You can kill me now.”

Introducing Toni Aleo's highly anticipated debut Paranormal Romance novel, PIECES. This radiant, powerful + magical love story takes you into a new world where anything is possible; where an underground society in NYC will make you question everything you thought you ever knew.
Dare to venture into... THE WORKS.
NOW AVAILABLE
Overview
In New York City, an underground society of supernatural beings exists, hidden among everyday humans. They don't know of our activities or any of our secrets.
The districts of the Works are made up of vampires, wolves, shifters, witches, and I'm in the fifth and arguably most important district, the Patchwork. My father is the leader of our group, and he oversees all of the other factions.
As his only daughter, that makes me the princess of it all. Cool, right? Actually...no.
Sure, I live in a mansion and money isn't an object, but that doesn't matter because I can't leave. I have a guard who follows me around 24/7. My father and three older brothers treat me like I'm a fragile piece of glass, never allowed to take an independent step or make any decisions on my own.
It's beyond frustrating--especially since my father essentially runs my life.
He says what I do, when I do it, how I do it, and all that jazz. He tests his formulas and new techniques on me. I'm a walking science experiment.
I hate it.
I hate my life here.
But then he comes along: Killian.
He's just some vampire...or so I thought.
But you'll have to read my story to find out what I mean. To know my secrets.
Until then, though, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rebekah von Stein.
And I'm a descendant of Dr. Frankenstein.

My Review
Reviews
"Wow! Toni Aleo is the queen of hockey romance but now she writes paranormal flawlessly. Is there anything she can’t write? I think not. She weaved this new world of witches, wolves, vampires and Dr. Frankenstein’s descendants, that had me hooked from the very first page. It was a fresh new story that I devoured in one sitting. This story was filled with suspense, mystery and romance. It had me on edge wanting, no, needing to know what would happen next."

"Okay, so what the hell? I didn't see that coming. I mean, really, the queen of hockey writing about vampires, werewolves and Dr. Frankenstein's descendants? Let me be a little sceptical. And after I read it, let me apologize for it. This book was a fresh wave. I devoured it. It took me only one night to finish it because this story didn't let me go. I'm sitting here trying to put together the pieces - not funny - but I can't. I want to read more books like this one. Just keep it up, Toni!"

"I loved this book it was phenomenal.I could not put it down for anything. I help my breath for most of it and still didn't fully exhale when it was over! The end was left with a bit of a cliffhanger and it has me wanted so much more!"

I’m not really sure what I was expecting when I opened this book. I have read a few of the hockey books from
Toni Aleo and they were pretty hot and steamy and I read the blurb for this and
it sounded interesting so I immediately put my hand up for an ARC. And I can
honestly say what I got definitely wasn’t what I was expecting.
Firstly I have to say, the world building in this was awesome, the whole concept of the book has me so
intrigued to read more and see where everyone is going to go. And I am
desperately hoping that the next books in the series are going to be based on
some of the characters we have already been introduced to.
Rebekah was kind of a hard character to relate to, in some instances
she felt a lot younger than she was due to her isolation but I felt so sorry
for her that I couldn’t help but like her.
She is a mortal born into a family of immortals who treat her like a
science experiment while trying to make her immortal. So her life is one big
painful experiment after another. So as much as she occasionally annoyed me
with juvenile comments she would then have some painful medical experiment
performed on her and I was right back to wanting to hug her while chopping her
father up with a blunt chainsaw.
Killian was everything you could want in a hero. BUT I seriously don’t
think we saw enough of him. I didn’t really feel their connection and I can’t
even explain why I feel that without putting in some major spoilers so I am
just going to say that what I actually saw of him I loved but I really wanted a
whole heap more. More romance, more sex and more sexy hero.
Overall I really was sucked into the Works world and I am definitely
going to follow the series especially is the next book is Oceanus or Cyrus. If
you’re a fan of paranormal this is the book for you.
Broken Love is a really sweet second chance
meets best friends little sister romance.
I think I was expecting something a lot more angsty when I read the
blurb so as I got into this I was so happy to see that it had a lot less drama
and a lot more sweetness than I anticipated, as well as a heap of smoking hot
sex scenes, and I loved it.
Cade was such a sweetheart. He wore his heart
on his sleeve and was so openly head over heels in love with Palmer I loved
him. That said I really would have liked him to man up a few times and stand up
for himself more, not that he bent over for anyone but there were a few moments
there where I would have forgiven him for screaming “What the fuck?” in a few
faces and maybe have things go his way a little (or a whole heap more) rather
than being a stand up guy and trying to make everyone around him happy.
And obviously one of those people was Palmer.
She was a bit of a dumbfuck I am sorry to say. While I can understand her
hiding her relationship initially from her brother when they first started but
damn did she drag that out to the end and cause untold misery by being a
stubborn idiot. Now I didn’t hate her per say so much as I just felt like her
choices were stupid and she over reacted and held onto petty crap way too long.
Palmer was wickedly funny in her inner
dialogue and her best friend / assistant cougar was awesome and their
relationship and conversations had me laughing out loud a few times. I really
hope Tory gets her own book cause I am sure she will be hysterical and
entertaining to the very end. I loved her.
The families and secondary characters in this
book were flawless and I really am enjoying this series. I am not sure if I
want to see another Crawford brother get his book next or maybe Palmer’s
brother, Pike, or her assistant Tory bet whichever way it goes I will be there
with my one click happy little finger making sure it lands on my kindle.

The summer that Chase Stern entered my life, I was seventeen. The daughter of a legend, the Yankees were my family, their stadium my home, their dugout my workplace. My focus was on the game. Chase... he started out as a distraction. A distraction with sex appeal poured into every inch of his six foot frame. A distraction who played like a god and partied like a devil.
I tried to stay away. I couldn’t.
Then, the team started losing.
Women started dying.
And everything in my world broke apart.

A jilted girl…
One night of mistaken identity…
Two weeks before her wedding, Remi Montague’s fiancé drops her faster than a drunken sorority girl in stilettos. Armed with her best friend and a bottle of tequila, she hops a plane to London to drown her sorrows before fall semester begins at Whitman University.
She didn't plan on attending a masquerade party.
She sure didn’t plan on waking up next to the British bad boy who broke her heart three years ago—the devastatingly handsome and naked Dax Blay. Furthermore, she has no clue how they acquired matching tattoos.
Once back at Whitman together, they endeavor to pretend they never had their night of unbridled passion in London.
But that’s damn hard to do when you live in the same house…
One night. Two damaged hearts. The passion of a lifetime.

I, Makayla Alexander,
am on a mission to reinvent myself. So when a super hot guy boards the
plane and flashes his rock hard abs, I pay attention. When he sits next
to me and offers me his nuts, I can’t resist. But when I choke on them
and he tells me I need to work on my gag reflex, I realize I might be in
over my head.Before I know it we’re in the lavatory and attempting to join the Mile High Club. Let me just say this...anyone who tells you it’s easy to get it on at 37,000 feet isn’t telling you the truth. After the flight attendant busts us for getting frisky in the air, the only thing that can ease my total and complete mortification is the simple fact that I am never going to see him again.
Hours later, I can’t help but wonder if fate will ever allow me to become a new version of myself.
Because Fate, she’s a fickle bitch.
Case in point...my seatmate is my new next-door neighbor.
Even with the whole fate thing we have going on, we are so not meant to be together. He’s all cool and sexy in that make love not war kind of way. Guys like him are dangerous. With that bring-you-to-your-knees body, that handsome-as-hell face, and that dirty, dirty mouth, I guarantee one glance from him wets every girl's bikini bottoms.
And then there’s me…the quirky girl looking to find herself in California. All I want to do is learn to let loose. Say words like peace and groovy. Bury my toes in the sand. Who knows, maybe even have sex on the beach.
Unable to get him out of my head, I entertain the thought of being more than just friends. I know the idea is absurd. And yet, I go with it. You see Camden Waters gets me. Really gets me. Like no other guy has before.
On this 7-mile stretch of paradise, I decide to keep things simple and just have fun...that is until fate decides to screw with me, again.
Can two people hell-bent on finding themselves realize the search should have ended the day they met? Find out in No Pants Required—a sexy, funny, romantic stand-alone, that will have you hurrying to grab your bathing suit and rushing to the beach to check out every lifeguard on duty.

Nico Medina’s world is
eleven miles away from mine. During the day, it’s a place where doors
are open—where homes are lived in, and neighbors love. But when the sun
sets, it becomes a place where young boys are afraid, where eyes watch
from idling cars that hide in the shadows and wicked smoke flows from
pipes. West End is the kind of place that people survive. It buries them—one at a time, one way or another. And when Nico was a little boy, his mom always told him to run.
I’m Reagan Prescott—coach’s daughter, sister to the prodigal son, daughter in the perfect family.
Life on top.
Lies.
My world is the ugly one. Private school politics and one of the best high school football programs in the country can break even the toughest souls. Our darkness plays out in whispers and rumors, and money and status trump all. I would know—I’ve watched it kill my family slowly, strangling us for years.
In our twisted world, a boy from West End is the only shining light.
Quarterback.
Hero.
Heart.
Good.
I hated him before I needed him.
I fell for him fast.
I loved him when it was almost too late.
When two ugly worlds collide, even the strongest fall. But my world…it hasn’t met the boy from West End.

From
New York Times
Bestseller, Vi Keeland, comes a sexy new standalone novel.The first time I met Chase Parker, I didn’t exactly make a good impression.
I was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant, leaving a message for my best friend to save me from my awful date.
He overheard and told me I was a bitch, then proceeded to offer me some dating advice.
So I told him to mind his own damn business—his own tall, gorgeous, full-of-himself damn business—and went back to my miserable date.
When he walked by my table, he smirked, and I watched his arrogant, sexy ass walk back to his date.
I couldn’t help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room. Of course, he caught me on more than one occasion, and winked.
When the gorgeous stranger and his equally hot date suddenly appeared at our table, I thought he was going to rat me out.
But instead, he pretended we knew each other and joined us—telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about our fake childhood.
My date suddenly went from boring to bizarrely exciting.
When it was over and we parted ways, I thought about him more than I would ever admit, even though I knew I’d never see him again.
I mean, what were the chances I’d run into him again in a city with eight million people?
Then again…
What were the chances a month later he’d wind up being my new sexy boss?
Ball Peen Hammer
by Lauren Rowe
Expected publication: July 25th 2016
From the USA Today and Internationally bestselling author of The Club Series, Lauren Rowe, comes a sexy standalone romantic comedy: Ball Peen Hammer.Keane Morgan wouldn’t return any of my calls or texts, and I was pissed as hell about it. I didn’t want to drive from Seattle to L.A. with the guy any more than he wanted to drive with me, but I had no frickin’ choice in the matter--at least, not if I wanted to use his brother Dax’s coveted parking spot at UCLA.
Okay, so it turned out Keane was objectively gorgeous, and, fine, pretty funny, too. But did he have to be so damned in love with himself? I mean, jeez, the cocky way he flashed those dimples was just so orchestrated. And, honestly, what kind of guy uses the phrase “baby doll” with a straight face? Oh, that’s right: the kind of guy who’s a male stripper.
Yup, the cocky jerk turned out to be Seattle’s answer to Magic Mike, a stripper known as “Ball Peen Hammer”--which meant Keane Morgan was emphatically not the kind of guy I’d ever fall for.
Not. At. All.
No freakin’ way.
Well, until Keane convinced me to fall for him, that is.
Which I did.
Hard.
The Matchmakers Replacement

Wingman rule number two: never reveal how much you want them.Lex hates Gabi. Gabi hates Lex. But, hey, at least the hate is mutual, right? All Lex has to do is survive the next few weeks training Gabi in all the ways of Wingmen Inc. and then he can be done with her. But now that they have to work together, the sexual tension and fighting is off the charts. He isn’t sure if he wants to strangle her or throw her against the nearest sturdy table and have his way with her.
But Gabi has a secret, something she’s keeping from not just her best friend but her nemesis too. Lines are blurred as Lex becomes less the villain she’s always painted him to be…and starts turning into something more. Gabi has always hated the way she’s been just a little bit attracted to him—no computer-science major should have that nice of a body or look that good in glasses—but “Lex Luthor” is an evil womanizer. He’s dangerous. Gabi should stay far, far away.
Then again, she’s always wanted a little danger.
