Release Blitz & ARC Review- Loch (The Powers That Be, #3) by Harper Bentley

Loch RDB Banner
Title:  Loch (The Powers That Be, #3)
Author: Harper Bentley
Publication Date: September 30th 2015
Plot:  Loch Powers was the hottest guy I’d ever seen in my entire life.

And I hated him with every fiber of my being.

I'd practically known him since birth. Heck, we’d literally shared a crib as babies at his mom’s daycare.

Then I’d crushed on him hard when we hit middle school but he wouldn’t give geeky, glasses-wearing me the time of day. When his mom made him take me to the sixth grade dance, he’d humiliated me and I vowed to never talk to him again. 

The next year when my family moved away, I told myself that if I never saw him again it’d be too soon.

Now I’m back and attending the same college, but I’m no longer the skinny, ugly girl who was so infatuated with him. And I’m so over him it’s not even funny. 

But now that I’m no longer the ugly duckling, he’s set his sights on me, and I’m just not sure what to do with that.

 My Review 

☆ I received an ARC via Southern Belle Promotions in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!! ☆

description

A story of first love. Forgiveness. Second Chances. && Lots and Lots of Sexual tension that will ignite and incinerate your panties.

I loved Loch!! Though, I wished that the character, Loch, himself, had more depth, character development, and more presence period. Quite frankly, I always just found him secondary and pushed to the back of what I felt he could have been. But that’s just me.

As for Simone St. John, this was really her story, and her story alone, of coming to terms of her past and her own insecurities of her blundered childhood crush on then male bestie, Loch Powers.

Now several years later, and all grown up and no longer the ugly duckling she once was, Simone and Loch cross roads again, but this time he doesn’t recognize her…but she definitely recognizes him!

Ah, how the tides have changed to give her to exact revenge on the cruelty and broken heart he left on her with a new image and a different name.

Still mortified and humiliated from the cruel words and battered heart he left on her, Simone leads Loch on initially, but decides to back out on her plan of vindication, after realizes the faults in her scheme and that she still carries harbors feelings for her sex on a stick, tatted enemy.

But, Loch isn’t having it! With girls lining up to be in his bed, Loch senses something different in ‘Celeste,’ the pen name that Simone gives him at first, and pursues her at all costs with ‘no’ not an option. She’s exquisitely beautiful and doesn’t jump through hoops and obstacles to get his attention.

But, how will he react when he learns of “Celeste’s” secret and her fledgling intentions towards him? Not to mention, that she has been in love with him since they were kids? Will he return her sentiments? Or will her turn her away forever?

A definite improvement in the series. I really enjoyed Gable, which is how I got into The Powers that Be books, Zeke was just okay in my opinion, but Loch was a step up. I just wish we got more into the psyche of Loch a tad bit extra and didn’t only just primarily focus upon Simone, her demons and heartache; not to mention, her having mixed signals over Loch and his hot and coldness.

Anyway, can’t wait for Ryker’s book, which I hope is up next!!

This is not happening!
This can’t be happening!
That man just hit Riza! He could have killed her.
It’s all some horrible nightmare. We are not in the back of a van being taken to God-only-knows-where.
My stomach and ribs ache something fierce from where Warren kicked me. I tear my eyes away from Riza, who is still unconscious. I’m so worried about her. I pull Kelly closer to me, trying to comfort both of us.
The van slows down. When it comes to a full stop, it causes all my muscles to tense and quiver. I send up a silent prayer. Please, don’t let them hurt us!
The sound of metal turning on metal makes me press my back hard into the wall behind me. I pull Kelly tighter against my chest. The van door swings open. Garrett looks very unhappy as he glares into the back of the van.
“Put her with the others!” Warren commands and then he shoves a plump girl into Garrett’s arms.
“Let’s get back to the house. We need to get started,” Garrett says as he picks the new girl up and forces her into the back. She scrambles over Riza to get to the other corner. She looks terrified. I’m sure we all look the same, scared out of our minds.
“Can’t wait to break them in,” Warren says with a dark smirk.
Break us in? What the hell is he talking about?
My eyes meet Kelly’s terrified ones, and fresh tears spill over my cheeks. The realization of what happened and what is happening hits hard. Oh my God! We’re being kidnapped!
“Close your eyes,” Garrett whispers.
My eyes dart to his and I can’t believe they fooled us like that. He doesn’t look like a killer. I was actually starting to like him before they took us. They all look so decent. I would never have suspected any of them being able to hurt a fly, no less any of us.
“Close your eyes,” he whispers again. “There’s nothing you can do. It will be easier if you try to get some rest while you can.”

She's been in love with reading from an early age. She has a passion for all things books, but she has an ultimate soft spot for nature and animals.

goodreads
Plot:  Belle Stuart walked into my life with crimson lips, and a smart mouth to match, that made it impossible not to put her in her place—and on her knees.

She should be off-limits. Claiming her was reckless. Keeping her is dangerous. But she's more than a conquest, she's my obsession.

I'll do what it takes to protect her, even if it means letting her go.

But she's the one woman I can't give up. She's the one woman I can't stop craving.

She's the one I covet...

Belle and Smith’s story continues on…


In this eloquently crafted second installment filled with love, romance, drama, scandal, eroticism, and twists and turns that will keeping your head in a tailspin and keep your kindles heated.



I really loved how Belle rallies against all of her obstacles and the protective nature of Smith.



This book really put things into perspective for me, as it made me realize the true vulnerability and how much they have to lose and what’s at stake with Hammond being a huge threat to everything and all.



In the end though, you can’t help what you feel and/or what’s there, and that’s that spark that both Belle and Smith have for the other. They know that their affair could go down in flames and destroy them altogether, and yet, they can’t stay from the other and will go to the umpteenth lengths to make sure that the other won’t get hurt.



I was really looking forward to this installment, and while it definitely brought the heat....it also answered some of the questions I had, while leaving a gap to others that will probably be answered in the next book, where we finally get to see where the final pieces fall.



Can’t wait for even more scandal and secrets in Capture Me, releasing this December!!

HOT NEW Release!- Play Dirty (Play Dirty #1) by Jessie K

35db54bf f4a9 4cd9 8368 6645eacea30d

Title:  Play Dirty (Play Dirty #1)
Author: Jessie K
Publication Date: September 28th 2015
Plot: My Juliet. 

My acting partner. 

She's too young for me, I know that much already. 

But it only takes one stage kiss to break me. 

Will I be able to stop once I start playing dirty?










 Excerpt 

Maybe Lynn really was too much of a distraction. He had tried his damnedest to keep focused, to let the scene unfurl in his mind and breathe life into it, but she was a thorn in his performance.

Jesus, he got an erection in the middle of the scene.

The mere thought of the kiss made his balls draw up tight and he had to carefully adjust himself on the seat to keep from rubbing across the seams of his pants. That kiss was going to haunt him for the next week.

They didn’t just kiss, they had made out during a professional audition. It was blatantly disrespectful and he’d been sabotaged by his own goddamn dick.

But fuck. He would do it again in a second.

College-aged girls were so exciting, so full of life, in comparison to the hardened, older actresses. They’d been ridden hard and spit out by the theater community for so long, it was like riding a unicycle, falling over sloppily every way you turned.

Fresh faces were so rare these days, but how he loved them. Matthew wanted to take her unburdened spirit and bathe in it.

Maybe even fuck her, loudly, in it.

Lynn was a taste of the fountain of youth and she was sinfully delicious. Except that she cost him his last goddamn audition of the summer, maybe of his life—if he was feeling particularly melodramatic. Call it a side effect of living the artist’s life.

Then again, maybe their chemistry helped convey something more powerful than the others. They were Vance and Fiona, fighting for their relationship, up on that stage.

Or at least he was.
