REVIEW-
5 STARS!!!

This book.
I loved this freaking book. Meghan Quinn has written something that is so incredibly wonderful that I don’t think I will be able to fully describe just how absolutely amazing it was. I thought that Stroked was the shit, but Stroked Long? Freaking phenomenal!
Ruby and Bodi … sigh. They couldn’t be more different, but that’s what makes them so perfect for one another. Ruby is bright and colorful and all over the place. Bodi is all white and clinically clean with a rigid personality and OCD anxiety. I truly felt for Bodi. He has so much emotional turmoil in his past that he is letting dictate his future, and it’s heartbreaking. He can be very awkward as he hasn’t really had any relationships before, so everything with Ruby is completely foreign to him. I don’t think there was any way that I couldn’t love him. He was just… perfect. Broken, but perfect.
“This woman, she fucking changes everything. She makes me feel, she fills me with oxygen…”
As Ruby and Bodi’s friendship starts and evolves into something more, Ruby doesn’t know the extent of Bodi’s issues because he hides them from her. She doesn’t understand that aspect of him, so when he reacts out of the norm she is able to help him, but at the same time doesn’t know when she pushes his limits. Theirs was an unexpectedly highly emotional relationship, full of many ups and downs.
It doesn’t help that Bodi is a swimmer training for the Olympics in Rio, and Ruby is trying to make ends meet with her art job and just got a second job with the horribly atrocious Bellini Chambers. (Side note: Looovvvveeedddd the reaction to Bellini’s attitude and ridiculous demands in this book! We got to see aspects that we weren’t able to in Stroked and I was sooo happy! She is the freaking worst!) Bodi and Ruby are still learning each other and with Bodi the way that he is and as this is his first real relationship, there was bound to be turmoil. Theirs ended up being slightly worse than other couples out there, but they were able to persevere and get their HEA.
In between Ruby and Bodi’s emotional journey, we still got to experience Meghan Quinn’s utter ridiculousness. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, I have no idea how she comes up with this shit! It is so over the top ridiculous! I love it and laugh constantly while reading her books. I felt that Ruby was a little bit of Meghan while I was reading.
“That should be an Olympic sport: Sausage stuffing… It starts with a line of flaccid penises, the gun goes off and it’s a race to see who can not only get erect first, but who can stuff their sausage in a pair of Spandex and then do twenty jumping jacks without their penis flying out. I would one hundred percent watch that.”
How does she even come up with that??? Ruby was so utterly awesome. Bodi was absolute perfection in a damaged kind of way. I fell completely in love with him, but the both of them together? I can’t even begin to explain the rightness of it all. I am looking forward to Stroked Hard, but I don’t think that Meghan Quinn will be able to top this book. Stroked Long is officially my favorite of anything that she has written, and I’ve just about read all of hers. This book…  is the shit.
ALSO AVAILABLE!

STROKED by Meghan Quinn
Released: July 19, 2016
Cover Designer: Murphy Rae

BLURB:
Reese King: Olympic medalist, underwear model, Greek god.

 His body is chiseled from rock, sculpted by the weight room, and refined by water.

 On a daily basis his skin is completely bare for everyone to see, tan and defined, only covered up by a minuscule piece of spandex. There is no denying his sex appeal.

 I hate to admit it, but I’m head over heels infatuated with him.

 There is one HUGE problem though. His achingly gorgeous abs, inked up arm, and cocky swagger belong to my boss, the high-profile, reality star bitch from hell and certified heinous human being, Bellini Chambers.

 What I think is going to be an easy job assisting a glorified wench turns into a cluster f*ck of epic proportions.


 About the Author:

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if "It's Raining Men" starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing... enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

#Review #Giveaway Embrace Me by @AnnMarie_Walker @Amy_KRogers @tastybooktours


Return to the dangerous and seductive romance 
that got pulses racing in the Chasing Fire trilogy...


EMBRACE ME
A Chasing Fire Novella (#3.5)
Ann Marie Walker & Amy K. Rogers
Releasing September 20th, 2016
Berkley Intermix


Hudson Chase and Alessandra Sinclair's heartracing romance continues in this hot, new novella in the Chasing Fire series.

Return to the dangerous and seductive romance that got pulses racing in the Chasing Fire trilogy...

It took ten years for Hudson Chase and Alessandra Sinclair to find their happily ever after, and they’re not about to let anything get in their way...

Nothing could stop the passion between Allie and Hudson—not time or distance. Not even tragedy, betrayal, and blackmail. But now they’re facing a new challenge: wedding planning. And while Allie’s social status demands she put on the event of the century, her well-intentioned family and friends have her doubting her walk down the aisle...

Hudson knows tensions are pushing Allie to the brink, but he’s not letting her throw everything away over some flowers and cake. He has plans for his new bride, and unlike their last adventure, he's determined that this time there will be no unwelcome surprises. But for all his determination and control, there’s one element Hudson Chase has never been able to predict—and she has some adventurous ideas of her own...

Praise for the Chasing Fire trilogy

4 stars!!!

Embrace me is a short novella that was such a surprise from the Author's. I am so glad that they decided to give Hudson and Allie the HEA that they so deserved (and us readers love!)

Hudson and Allie decide that they are going to plan a big ceremony to renew their wedding vows and invite their family and friends. They only draw back is that this is stressing Allie out to no end. Who knew planning a ceremony could be so stressful?? Anyone that has planned a wedding knows how stressful it is and that any help is greatly appreciated. Hudson give Allie the best thing he can when he gets her help to plan the ceremony and to relieve some of the stress that is on her.

Hudson is looking forward to the Honeymoon that comes with the ceremony. Who can have a vow renewal without a honeymoon? This novella doesn't give us the action packed story that we are so used to from these two author's but I think that it is just right. I am glad that we got to have this time with Hudson and Allie and see how things really ended up for them. Once again, you would never know that there are two author's writing this novella, it just flows really well and gives you a great story that you long for more of.

Such a great ending to a great series. I am sad that this one is over but I look forward to what these great author's have in store for us reader's next!

#Excerpt #Preorder Eagle by @JillianDodd



EAGLE_EXCERPT.jpg
Prologue
Two men are seated in a large room with ornate gold leaf bookcases and a deeply toned, hand-painted mural covering a large, domed ceiling. The mural features the Archangel Michael in a battle with Satan. It was painstakingly created for this room based on the Baroque painting, “The Fall of the Damned,” and it took an artist three years to complete.
Although one of the men seated owns the home this beautiful room is in, he is not sitting in a place of power behind his mammoth hand-carved mahogany desk, but rather both men are seated in matching wingback chairs covered in the softest of plaid cashmeres and are situated near the room’s French doors, which overlook the estate’s vast grounds.
“We have some loose ends to tie up regarding Montrovia,” the owner of the home says after taking a sip of amber-colored liquid from a heavy crystal tumbler.
“We shouldn’t have trusted the girl,” the other man says.
“Easy to say in retrospect, especially considering she came very close to succeeding. If she would have become Queen, it would have made things much easier for us. We will prevail, regardless.”
“What is our next course of action, then?”
“We continue with our plan,” the owner states. “Although, I’m afraid there will have to be a few slight variations.”
“Does one of those variations have to do with why the Eagle wasn’t present at our meeting today?” the man asks, the understanding of an unusual event earlier in the day showing in his furrowed brow.
“He isn’t doing what he promised. Now that he controls the world’s most powerful military, he seems to have forgotten who put him into power.”
“That was a very expensive endeavor.”
The owner of the home nods in agreement. “One of which we are not reaping the reward from. So, I’m afraid we have no choice. We must liquidate our bad investment.”
The man sets his drink down, trying to keep his hand from shaking, knowing it could just as easily be him if he dared to cross the man in front of him. “But he’s our friend.”
“Something he has also forgotten. Do it. And I only want the best, for obvious reasons.”
“Sadly, the best is dead.”
“Are you referring to The Priest?”
“Yes. He was killed after the Eagle’s father hired him for a hit then double crossed him.”
“I don’t believe he’s dead. Find him.”
“I’m sure we can find someone equally as talented—”
“I want The Priest and no one else,” the owner interrupts.
How in the world am I supposed to hire a dead man? he thinks, but he doesn’t dare say.
“It’s going to be dangerous for us to even try to find him, but I will see what I can come up with. What if he is still alive, but says no?”
“You will make him an offer he cannot refuse. And see if he will give us a group discount regarding the outstanding Montrovian situation.”
***
The assassin known as The Priest enters an empty bar in France. The hole-in-the-wall drinking establishment is supposed to be open this afternoon, but the owner just hung the closed sign on the door.
“What is this nonsense about an offer?” the assassin asks, freaking out a little. “Everyone thinks I’m dead. We’ve worked hard to establish ourselves here. How did they contact you?”
“Through a secure network. I left a few trusted assets in place in case we ever needed the money.”
“We could be traced though that.”
“No, we can’t. I’m good at what I do. Are you interested in hearing the offer, or not?”
“It doesn’t matter how much it is. I’m not interested.”
“So are you saying that fifteen million dollars wouldn’t sway you?”
“Fifteen million? Who the hell is the target?”
“It’s a series of three hits, but they have only revealed the first one.” He whispers the man’s name.
“You’ve got to be kidding. No way.”
“This money could set us both up for life.”
“We’re already set up for life. Sort of. Besides, I retired. With good reason.”
“They will go as high as twenty.”
“You know how well-guarded a man of his stature is.”
“Are you saying no because you don’t want to do it, or because you don’t think you can do it?”
“Whether or not I can do it is not the question. I always complete my tasks. However, in this case, getting away with it would be another story. I’d have a whole country after me. And they’d find you first, since you are the one brokering the deal.”
“You don’t trust my skills?”
“All I know is that I’m lucky to be alive. It’s been over six years since I was double-crossed, and you know as well as I do, that when Lara was killed it should have been me driving. I had gotten careless with my cover.”
“That was four years ago.”
“Two years after I was presumed dead. Men like that never forget. For all we know, this could be their way of setting me up.” He pushes himself away from the bar. “No. We can’t risk it.”
“If we could get them to twenty-five million, we could buy our own island and live in paradise forever.”
“We already live in paradise, my friend.”
“I’m tired of running this bar.”
“This bar is your cover. Hiding didn’t work before. Hiding in plain sight is. And we will continue to make it work.”
“Whatever,” the bartender says, his disappointment showing in both his expression and gestures. But he does as told—logs into a secure network and declines the offer.
He’s surprised when there is an immediate response.
“They just offered thirty million.”
The assassin closes his eyes. The thrill of the hunt is something he craves, but he can’t.
He shakes his head no.
The bartender relays his decision, then his eyes go wide with shock.
“You need to see this for yourself,” he says, handing him the laptop.
The assassin reads the instant message.
Thirty million is my final offer, but I suspect it’s not about the money. I have other information that may interest you. The first target is not only a powerful world leader, but he is the legacy of the man who double-crossed you six years ago.

He’s rereading it again just to be sure, when another message pops up.
Does that change your mind?
The assassin drains the beer in front of him. “Tell the man that it most certainly does.”
