Review & Giveaway: Adrian Lessons by L.A. Rose

Genre: New Adult, contemporary romance
Release: August 25^th, 2014
Blurb:
If there's one thing Cleo Reynolds knows, it's that she's not into Adrian King. 

The son of a model with the looks to prove it, the experienced author of her school newspaper's sex advice column, the cocky playboy with a hint of darkness. That Adrian King. 

Nope. Nuh-uh. No way. 
The problem is, he's very into her. 

After accidentally flashing him, and slightly-less-accidentally-but-still-totally-unintentionally making out with him in front of the whole class, she expects to be called crazy. Instead, he asks her out. 

Cleo's determined not to end up as another notch on his bedpost. Except she hasn't done…you know…it in a while. (Read: ever.) And as a girl who pays her tuition by writing all the sex scenes in her roommate's bestselling romance series, the lack of inspiration has served up a fat slice of writer's block. 

Until her roommate proposes that Cleo and Adrian act out all the steamy scenes in her book. 

It's just research. No feelings involved. 
Nope. Nuh-uh. 
No way.

Review:
If I had to pick one word to describe/represent Adrian Lessons it would be foreplay. Yes, foreplay. Holy crap… That was some of the hottest build up that I've read in a while. Most books get right down to business, which, of course, I'm more than okay with, but this foreplay was crazy good. Just when I thought Cleo was about to combust, with me right along with her, the sexy time commences and boy was that intense… and chocolate-y.

Besides loads of sexual tension, frustration, and orgasms, Adrian Lessons had me cracking up. Cleo is funny, quirky, and weird… in a good way. She says the most random things that have you scratching your head, but then agreeing with every word. She says whatever comes to mind and, for me, that quality made her a loveable character. And Adrian, well Adrian can be full of himself at times, but can you blame the guy? He's drop dead gorgeous, can have a girl screaming with pleasure in seconds, and has a heart the size of Texas. So for that, I can forgive his cockiness. As far as secondary characters go, Cleo's best friend and roommate Marie is super cute and a bit of a voyeur, or something close to it. You see… Maris writes romance novels and Cleo writes the sex scenes for her because Marie is a shy Catholic girl who blushes at the word "sex." But for being a shy Catholic girl she sure doesn't mind watching Adrian and Cleo enact some of the scenes from her book… for inspiration of course. I hope we get to hear more about Marie in the future! *hint hint* *nudge nudge*

So with all the awesome humor and sexual activities going on there was only one thing missing for me- when Cleo's crush/lust turned into more. The whole double date with her sister clued us in to how she felt about Adrian on a level other than sex, and with Adrian we knew his feelings for her from the beginning and why, but I just wanted a bit more from Cleo. I think a lot of Cleo's humor shadowed her true feelings throughout a lot of the book, but hey, it's fiction, it was funny, and I still enjoyed the story!

As far as first books go, I think L.A. Rose did a fantastic job of reeling her readers in with flaming hot foreplay and laugh out loud moments.

Written Revelry gives Adrian Lessons 4 out of 5 and a little Cleo and Adrian pool action for funsies!

Teaser: Priceless by Raine Miller

You guys! It's Friday and we're just one week away from the release of Raine Miller's Priceless! Thanks to the lovely Ms. Miller and InkSlinger PR we have a little teaser to hold you off until next Friday! But first, a little bit about Priceless:

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release: September 12^th
Blurb:
*THIS IS A CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE SPIN-OFF SET IN THE WORLD OF BLACKSTONE AFFAIR* <--(Which, BT-DUB, you should definitely read!)

Ivan Everley, 13th Baron Rothvale, would admit he's the last person on earth who should have custody over a priceless collection of art. British law affords him the title of 'Lord,' but underneath all the trappings he's just a regular guy, despite being a world champion in archery, and certain...proclivities of a private nature. But Ivan's public celebrity is merely a sham--a carefully guarded secret borne out of the pain of betrayal. Even his cousin Ethan Blackstone doesn't know the truth behind the man he considers a brother.

Lord Rothvale has a plethora of problems piled up to his aristocratic eyeballs, but that doesn't stop him from complicating his world further when a beautiful art conservationist shows up to appraise his inherited collection of paintings. Once Ivan gets a taste of Gabrielle Hargreave, mistaken identity or not, he can't think of anything but how good the green-eyed beauty felt in his arms.

The chase is on, and Ivan's dominant side isn't taking 'no' for an answer--but yet, Gabrielle might just teach our discontented lord a thing or two about life, and about himself, and help them both discover the undeniable truth in what it means to find something genuinely... priceless.

                                                                                     "I found you."   -Ivan to Gabrielle

Review: Ignited by J. Kenner

Genre: Erotica, Romance
Release: September 9^th, 2014

Blurb:

For fans of Fifty Shades of Grey, Bared to You, and Release Me comes an all-new erotic series of three enigmatic and powerful men, and the striking women who can bring them to their knees.

 

He promised to take me as far as I could go—and I wanted to go to the edge. 

 

My whole life has been a cover, a con, a lie. I was born into the grift, raised on the thrill of playing someone I'm not. As a rule, I never let anyone get too close—until Cole August makes it impossible for me to stay away.

 

Cole is tough, sexy, and intensely loyal, yet his secrets are dark and his scars run deep. Not many women can handle his past, or the truth behind his fierce demands. But something about him beckons me—and our desire is a game I must play. 

 

I know he's dangerous, that even his touch is trouble, but what is passion without a little risk?

 Ignited is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

Review:

So, I've been sitting on this review for a week or two now because I have mixed feelings about the book. So here's what I like to call a compliment sandwich (Thank you, Hart of Dixie):

Every book I've picked up by J. Kenner has been devoured in one sitting. She never fails to create ultra-sexy and mysterious, dominate men and feisty female counterparts. The drama gets your heart pumping and the steamy sex leaves you tingling, and Ignited had and did all those things, but I still couldn't help feeling like something was missing after I turned the last page.

The first two books of the series, Wanted and Heated, were great. There was drama, there was a problem, and it was solved, but still linked into the next book. Ignited had the drama, maybe a little more than the first two, poor Cole, but I was left a little lost at the end. Everything happened so fast I was scrambling to keep up and had to go back to re-read to make sure I had everything straight. It made me feel that there might be another book. I don't know, J. Kenner, is this actually the end of the Most Wanted boys? Anyway, I want to go into more detail, but I don't want to ruin it for fellow fans of the Most Wanted series.

Now, even with all that being said I was excited to finally get to know Kat and Cole. These two have a lot more in common than I ever could have guessed. The similarities from their pasts, the cons, the lies, the secrets, have them connecting on all levels. Kat is clearly done sitting around waiting to pounce on Cole, and even though Cole fights it (for about 2 seconds) in the beginning, we all know it's just a matter of time before he's got her pressed up against a brick wall going at it like the world is ending tomorrow. Who knew he was lusting, and lusting hard, for her this whole time? Kat has done a lot of sketchy things growing up, but she still has this innocence about her, something pure, and Cole see's that and loves and embraces it all. It's fun to read their interactions together whether it's inside or outside the bedroom.

I think these two finally getting together was like taking a huge breath after holding your breath for too long. Kat and Cole carry the heavy load of their pasts on their backs and needed someone to trust completely to let go, and they found that in each other.

3 ½ out of 5 for the HOT phone sex and the beyond erotic playroom they created together!
