Release Blitz: Taggart Family Values by Lexi Blake @authorlexiblake

Taggart Family Values, compilation of previously released and a brand new novella from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake, is available now! From Ian and Charlotte’s first meeting in Paris to a look into the future, Taggart Family Values chronicles Masters and Mercenaries’ favorite family through a series of short stories and novellas. Includes one brand new short story and one new novella. Lexi hopes readers will have a blast connecting with Ian and Charlotte and all their little monsters! Taggart Family Values includes the novellas Paradise City, Sweet Child o’ Mine, Homecoming and Countdown. It also includes the short stories Adam Tells All, Make Lemonade, Rough Night and Stuck at the Office. Some of the stories were previously published in newsletters and cookbooks.   Another outstanding and exceptionally written book by the talented Lexi Blake. This highly entertaining compilation of short stories (some brand new, others previously published) had me laughing at these characters' ridiculously hilarious hijinks and teary-eyed during the touching, heartwarming emotional moments. Ian Taggart is without a doubt my favorite Alpha Dom and the center of Lexi's literary universe. I completely adore him to bits and will never get enough of this sexy, scary and often sardonic hero. Ian quickly burrowed his way into my heart when first meeting his larger-than-life character in The Dom Who Loved Me years ago. With each story, each cameo, I fell deeper in love with the swoon-worthy and overly charismatic head of the Taggart family. Here, we see snippets of Big Tag, his bride Charlie and the loving family they amassed throughout the Masters and Mercenaries Series - both blood and the everlasting bonds of true friendship. 5 brilliant stars for Blake's Taggart Family Values.   Paradise City   "He’d been a gorgeous lion who might eat her up, and she’d thought he was sexy as hell."   Previously published chapters via Blake's newsletter, it is here we see how this seductive Dom found the beautiful love of his life. Charlotte Dennis was a desperate woman with a plan, and Ian was her target - little did he know this fiery and cunning submissive would be his perfect match. Paradise City was a short, sexy yet sweet love story.        “I know one thing in this world and that’s the fact that Ian Taggart knows how to create a family. None of us would be here without you, you sarcastic asshole brother of mine. So go and help your wife make our family a little bigger.” ~ Sean Taggart, Sweet Child o' Mine   Sweet Child o’ Mine, Homecoming, Make Lemonade, Stuck at the Office, and Rough Night   Five comical stories of how the twins Kenzie and Kala and their younger brothers Seth and Travis came into the world, as well as some of their crazy antics. Feel good shorts of how Ian and Charlie dealt with the challenges of parenthood while balancing family and their D/s coupley time. These tales warmed my heart and made me hysterically laugh out loud.   "He’d been the bane of intelligence agencies. He’d been Dr. Death, raining down justice and protecting America. Now he was a dumbass with a mortgage, a dog who seemed to be a bit constipated, two tiny chaotic things, and another on the way. No one even let him kill people anymore."    Adam Tells All   Fans of the M&M series know all too well the love/hate relationship between Adam and his sarcastic boss Ian. Finally, Adam believes he has the upper hand (for once) when figuring out a secret Big Tag was keeping and spills the beans to the McKay/Taggart clan. I love how these two Alphas constantly tease each other.   Homecoming   By far, Homecoming was my favorite story in this anthology. Poignant and emotional, we see how the Taggarts’ adopted daughter Tasha was welcomed into the family. Charlie, Ian and all the kids immediately embraced the daughter of their fallen colleague with open arms and hearts. An absolutely moving novella, which brought tears to my eyes and touched my heart.   Countdown   No spoilers about this one - just that there was a time jump, and it may be a possible future story. I am hoping that this thrilling and intriguing plot continues!    As expected, I've enjoyed this read from beginning to end and cannot wait for more wondrous adventures from Lexi Blake's creative and genius mind.  Amazon: https://amzn.to/2QjZf8P Amazon Worldwide: http://mybook.to/TaggertFam Apple Books: https://apple.co/2Qq5Zlq Kobo: https://bit.ly/2QhvRjA Nook: https://bit.ly/3uNnqeW Google Play: https://bit.ly/3dfJPeY Amazon Paperback: https://amzn.to/3a5kbr1   Add to Goodreads: https://bit.ly/3g8DZ0A New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake lives in North Texas with her husband and three kids.

Release Blitz ~ The Rebel Queen (Outlaw #1) by Lexi Blake @authorlexiblake

The fate of everyone on the Earth plane hangs in the balance, and one wrong move could cost Zoey everything she loves.

The fate of everyone on the Earth plane hangs in the balance, and one wrong move could cost Zoey everything she loves. The Queen is waiting… Amazon: https://amzn.to/2PrJLiJ Apple: http://bit.ly/RebQueen_LB_Apple Amazon Worldwide: https://amzn.to/3dhpaXW Nook: http://bit.ly/RebQueen_BN_LB Kobo: http://bit.ly/RebQueen_LB_Kobo Google: http://bit.ly/RebQueen_LB_Google Smashwords: http://bit.ly/RebQueen_LB_Smash     Holy wow, that was an incredible ride The Rebel Queen truly left me awestruck and utterly overwhelmed as this remarkable story captivated and fully consumed me from beginning to end. Once starting, I could not put my kindle down and devoured this read in one sitting. This angst-filled nail-biter still has me reeling, wishing it never ended, and desperate for the next installment. After reading and relishing most of Lexi Blake's novels, I have to say this was one of her best. The first in her new spin-off of the Thieves/Hunter Series, Blake had me on the edge of my seat while experiencing the continuing adventures of Zoey, Daniel, Devinshea and their entire crew.   The Rebel Queen picks up immediately following the  OMG, what the heck just happened ending of Stealing Summer, which blew my mind. I won't get into too many details and reveal any spoilers so that fans can appreciate the main characters' journey for themselves ~ but I will say that the time jump (revealed in the synopsis) that propelled Zoey, Dan and Dev twelve years into their realm's future was a genius plot twist and totally unexpected. It affected each of the main characters and the dynamics of their relationships differently. The absence for over a decade from her children's lives and realizing what they endured weighed heavily on Zoey's shoulders. Seeing all her anguish, witnessing her tremendous heartache and guilt, pulled heavily on my heartstrings. This new reality was hard for our sassy and stubborn heroine to accept.   What I love most about Zoey is her spirit. When faced with many challenges, she manages to survive time and time again. Zoey's grit carried her through many harsh circumstances since their return, and along with the support from her husbands, she gained strength and thrived. She's one heck of a fascinating character; her crazy antics and mischievous personality will never bore me. Although I adore each member of this throuple, their family, and friends, it's Zoey who touched and affected me the most.                         Blake is a masterful, intelligent and gifted writer. She consistently spins brilliant tales, weaving a web of intricate details and an array of characters, with the perfect combination of passion, mystery, hilarity and suspense. The Rebel Queen was no exception, and it is here where she has outdone herself by penning a poignant, truly emotionally driven yet action-packed read. There is a lot going on in this novel, and one needs to pay very close attention. Regardless, the intriguing story-line flowed flawlessly. The enemies, both new and old, who ran amuck as Zoey, Dan, Dev and the gang prepare for imminent attacks, had my heart palpitating. I loved how there's a McKay/Taggart connection somewhat entwined into this new series. Seeing the now grown-up, responsible and bad-ass children (Lee, Rhys and Evan) and their struggles touched me. In the end, this all made for a fantastic read that I thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend reading after completing the Thieves/Hunter series as I would not consider this a standalone novel. 5+++ stars!!    I voluntarily read an advance copy of this publication.     New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Blake lives in North Texas with her husband, three kids, and the laziest rescue dog in the world.

Nina Lane has done it again by penning another sexy yet emotionally driven tale that touched the very heart of me. She has a magical way with words that always leaves me in awe, never wanting the novel to end. This second installment in the Daring Hearts Series is no different. Here, I became enamored with Sebastian "Bastian" Hall and his lovely lady, Clara Whitmore. This couple's journey was jammed packed with passion, intrigue, and all the feels.  A relationship that began as a bargained marriage of convenience blossomed into a beautiful and eloquently written romance between two broken souls. I thoroughly enjoyed A Passion for Pleasure — 4.5 brilliant stars for this tender and heartwarming love story.

 

Sebastian Hall needed a wife. A once talented pianist, Bastian is suffering from a physical injury to his hand and can no longer play, and now facing financial troubles. To appease his unreasonable father and obtain access to his family's wealth, he needs to marry quickly. It just so happens that he is reunited with the beautiful Clara, his former music student now widowed who also needs to wed. Seeking a husband to help deal with an overbearing, controlling, and abusive father, Clara propositions Bastian with a marriage proposal that will benefit them both.

 

I adored this couple as their chemistry was instantaneous and intense. The overly sexy and broody Bastian, with all of his swoon-worthy charms, quickly burrowed his way into my heart. The once roguish and carefree playboy fell hard, fast, and deeply for Clara. His love and devotion to her, as well as his determination to help resolve her dreadful situation, totally won me over. And Clara's circumstances pulled heavily on my heartstrings. A woman with such an incredible amount of strength, yet vulnerable when struggling to remove herself from under her treacherous father's thumb. I felt her heartache. I relished how each supported and trusted the other while opening themselves up to the possibility of finding true love. 

 

All in all, A Passion for Pleasure was an outstanding read that I highly recommend, especially to fans of historical romances. With a captivating plot and fascinating characters, this was an excellent follow-up to A Study in Seduction, but it can also be read as a stand-alone novel. I am looking forward to the next installment, A Dream of Desire.

RELEASE BLITZ: Submission Impossible (Masters & Mercenaries: Reloaded, #1) by Lexi Blake @authorlexiblake

He loves the sweet life She’s ready for the future A twist they never saw coming Submission Impossible, the first in the  new Masters and Mercenaries: Reloaded series  from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake is available now!   He loves the sweet life Greg Hutchins is reluctantly adulting these days. He’s settled in his job, recently bought his first house, and has a network of friends he can call family. But there’s something missing in his life, and he can’t quite put his finger on it. When he’s assigned to a case that involves investigating a biochemical company, he meets a woman who’s sweeter than any candy. Maybe she’s just the thing to make him feel complete. She’s ready for the future Noelle LaVigne has faced plenty of tragedy in her life, but she’s on the right path now. Between her new job and settling into a new city, she’s got no time for dating or relationships. She’s worked hard to get where she is, and no man is going to push her off track. Except the minute Hutch crosses her path she can’t seem to think about anything but the handsome security expert. He’s there to find a corporate spy, but late-night work sessions make her think they’ve both found something much more meaningful. A twist they never saw coming When the case becomes dangerous, both of their futures are on the line. And when the bullets start flying, they will have to learn to trust in each other if they hope to survive.   Download your copy today! Amazon: https://amzn.to/3hJqGRt Apple Books: https://apple.co/3my9dit Amazon Worldwide: http://mybook.to/submissionimpossible Nook: https://bit.ly/3kJtX5p Kobo: https://bit.ly/2RG96mR Google Play: https://bit.ly/3hLHibk   A Bayou crossover and spinoff of the Master & Mercenaries literary world, Lexi Blake's Submission Impossible was absolutely brilliant. A love story brimming with passion, laughter and nail-biting suspense, this riveting BDSM romance was simply one of her best. (I say that with each novel Blake pens, but honestly, she is one heck of an exceptional writer). Between the intense sexual chemistry and the tremendous level of angst woven into the plot, I was immediately addicted to Hutch and Noelle's story. A fantastic beginning to what I believe will be an extraordinary series, this read eclipsed everything I've ever wished for when it came to this couple and their emotional journey.   Noelle LaVigne may come from a small town in Louisiana and struggles physically due to a tragic accident but has great aspirations for her career. As an up-and-coming scientist, she is working diligently on a groundbreaking project. However, villainous characters are lurking in the shadows, hacking into her data system as Noelle becomes their latest target, putting her life and research in danger. That's when the boys from McKay-Taggart, namely Greg "Hutch" Hutchins, enters her life as he is tasked with keeping her safe. These two have a very bumpy start but eventually discover they fit each other perfectly.   I adored Noelle. Despite her disability, this intelligent, strong-willed and tenacious woman is determined to succeed in everything she does. I love how she fights to overcome her difficulties to remain strong and independent. The sweet little girl I met in Butterfly Bayou is all grown up and discovers she has a very kinky side she wants to explore. And Hutch is more than happy to help not only guard her life but help guide Noelle in Sanctum's world.    A secondary character in several of the previous installments, Hutch surprised me in a good way. Hiding beneath the sexy geek persona exists a sweet, loving, protective and vulnerable man who sacrificed so much for his McKay-Taggart family. A Dom who never expected to find true love, yet he happily took a chance at a serious relationship with Noelle. The way he tended to all of Noelle's needs was touching. Although reluctant at first, Noelle also took a leap of faith, entrusting Hutch with her life and heart. Their connection was instant and explosive.   Amid this incredible love story lies an intriguing plot filled with drama, secrets, deceptions and danger. I savored every moment of all this angst. This tale took many a twist and turn that had me on edge, never wanting the story to end. With a cast of both familiar and new characters that I've come to adore, along with some that I loathed, Submission Impossible was one of the best romantic suspense novels and an all-time favorite. I can't wait for the next installment in this series.   Blake is in a league of her own as she masterfully spins her web, creating magic, as she writes the most detailed, thought-provoking yet passion-filled romances that I utterly enjoy. A definite 5 star read from this amazingly talented author that I highly recommend. Although Submission Impossible has roots in other series, it could certainly be read as a standalone.   New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Blake lives in North Texas with her husband, three kids, and the laziest rescue dog in the world. She began writing at a young age, concentrating on plays and journalism. It wasn’t until she started writing romance that she found success. She likes to find humor in the strangest places.
