2 Chicks and a Blog - Ashley's Review
Okay ... so Toxic picks up where Ruin leaves off. Don't get your knickers twisted ladies, of course we get more Wes in Toxic, but you only ask that now because you haven't met Gabe.
Gabe wins HANDS DOWN!! Rugged, tough, sexy, tattooed, pierced and broken. Every girls dream come true right? A boy they can try to fix. Well, for 4 years, all the girls have been trying to get a piece of the ultra sexy Gabe, but none have succeeded.
During a chance meeting, Saylor runs smack dab into young Gabe. No, literally, runs right into him. You know that feeling that all the books talk about ... the electric chills that flow up your arms and straight to your heart when two people who belong together touch .. oh yeah .. Rachel talks about it .. BUT YOU CAN FEEL IT!! I felt each and every ounce of tension in this book.
You'd think this would be your run of the mill, cookie cutter, NA novel wouldn't you? Yeah, I'm sure you did .. but think again friends ... Sexy Pants Gabe has a secret .. and not a little secret .. a HUGE one .. one he's never disclosed .. of course Wes found out . .because he's probably a part of the NSA or something .. but nobody else.
THIS BOOK THREW MY MIND THROUGH A LOOP .. things I though I knew .. I didn't ... characters I thought were one thing .. ended up being another ... I love when my mind gets used .. I love when it's thoroughly screwed with .. and Rachel screwed my brain again ... oh yeah .. again .. 1st time was when Wes lived (I wasn't expecting that one)
All in all ... Rachel, you take my breath away and I adore each and every book you write .. this book takes my 1st place spot in Rachel Van Dyken novels..
This Chick gives Toxic by Rachel Van Dyken 5 out of 5 I see you, you'll always be my girl, why doesn't the Christmas Tree have lights, don't forget a pink scarf, I forgot my helmet, it's the landing that hurts, pass the bottle of whiskey, bringing Princess home, play through me stars!!!

***BLOG TOUR STOP*** Fractured Steel
Title: Fractured Steel
Author: T.J. Loveless
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
Publication Date: February 15, 2014
A stranger approaches Karen about boarding a famous horse foaled in her stables, making her instincts go on high alert. She knows for a fact the stallion’s owner would never sell Five Alarm, the US Reining champion worth a hefty ten million dollars. In ten minutes the stranger confirms her worst fears, launching her into weeks of torment at the hands of her kidnappers.
Armed with a spine of steel, she steals a truck and trailer, rescuing another victim, and recovering Five Alarm, but the ordeal is far from over. The kidnapping was a cover up for espionage. Trusted contacts join the fray, and in the end, pay for their loyalty by dying for her safety. Others aren’t so trustworthy, and as the truth is brought to light, she is betrayed yet again.
Safety and freedom come with their own emotional shackles. She had the courage to fight the battle, but can she live with the aftermath of the carnage, or survive the fractures to her mind?
Born in Anchorage, I've lived ... well ... everywhere. From the Arctic Circle to a block from the beaches in Florida. I speak fluent Arkansas Hillbilly, make a mean gumbo, can sew when necessary and am a whiz at packing.
You'll generally find a Muse snuggled to my hip, the other one laying across my shoulders and Editor Kitty staring at the screen, waiting for the red ink to make an appearance. Once it does, he lays across the keyboard purring.
The family brags about the latest compromising position I've been found in, trying to figure out how to truly describe "legs all akimbo" or if falling on the couch could truly land a body in a certain position. They ignore my yelling at characters on the computer screen, and are forgiving when I accidentally write past the time for them to eat. It's one way of teaching the teenager to cook ...
Releases on February 15!

**PROMO** Lie Next to Me by Sandi Lynn
Title: Lie Next To Me (A Millionaire's Love)
Author: Sandi Lynn
Release Date: February 17, 2014
Genre: New Adult, Contemporary Romance
The pain was unbearable, but I had to keep moving. I had to keep running because, if I didn’t, he’d find me. I looked behind me as I ran through the streets; scared, alone, and in the dark as the mist of rain hit my face. There was no time to think, and there was no time to stop. My shoes were soaked as they sloshed through the puddles of the dimly lit streets.
My name is Rory Sinclair, and the night I was violently attacked was the night that changed my life forever. One man, a man named Ian Braxton, made it his mission to heal me, to save me, and to show me a world that previously had been only a dream to me.
Ian Braxton is far from perfect. He’s a self-absorbed, demeaning, arrogant, and womanizing millionaire. He makes it so easy to hate him, but so very hard to resist him. We’re from opposite sides of the spectrum. He comes from money and I come from poverty. When our worlds collide, his struggles become mine, and mine become his, leaving us with one question:
How much would you give up to be with someone who was meant to be yours?
As soon as I stepped through the door and into the kitchen, Ian grabbed me and pushed me up against the wall, holding my arms above my head. “Don’t turn your back on me, Rory. I’m sorry. I don’t think you’re trash. I think you’re broken and I can fix you,” he whispered in my ear.
His hot breath traveled down my neck and my body went into a near convulsion. I wanted him, but I knew if anything were to happen, it would destroy me. I would become too emotionally attached and when he got tired of me and moved on, I wouldn’t recover. He brought his face to mine as he stared into my eyes.
“I’m not broken. I’m shattered. I’m a million tiny pieces that would take longer than forever to piece back together. So please, do me the favor and don’t even try,” I whispered.
His grip on my arms lightened as he let go and took a step back, giving me one last look before he turned around and walked away. I stood and placed my hand on my neck where his hot breath had touched me. I took in a deep breath and walked upstairs. Tomorrow was the day I start my life over, alone.

EXCERPT:
EXCERPT:
This time it was
Angie's turn to laugh. She turned to me her eyes alight with mischief.
"So, Josh, how was your night?"
Damn. I knew at
some point she was going to bring it up. Not knowing how much Lauren had told
her, I figured deflection was the way to go. I smiled, hoping that it didn't
look fake. "It was an awesome party. Did you have fun?" I asked.
Unfortunately,
Angie knew me way too well. "I had a fantastic time, but stop trying to
change the subject. I saw you dancing with Lauren," she said with a smirk.
She was never
going to give up. I needed to play this off. Angie didn't need any more
encouragement in her quest to find me someone. "Yeah, she's pretty
cool," I offered, shrugging my shoulders. "She hit the bar with us
after the party."
I saw Caleb
watching me out of the corner of my eye. He knew something was up—he always
could see right through me. He knew there was more to the story and he was just
waiting for a better time to ask.
Angie, on the
other hand, looked disappointed. Huh? After all of the threats from Emily, she
looked like she was hoping for more. Then again, I doubt Angie had been rooting
for me to have a one-night stand with Lauren.
"Josh,"
she whined. "We have to find you someone."
I sighed.
"I'm happy with my life."
She turned her
nose up at me. Guess that was the wrong thing to say. "Oh, so you're happy
sleeping with a new girl every weekend?" she argued.
"You make
it sound like a bad thing?"
I watched the
anger flash in her eyes. Oops, definitely the wrong thing to say. She stood up
and stepped towards me, forcing me to look up at her. "You're an ass. With
an attitude like that, you deserve to be alone," she snarled before
storming off to their room and slamming the door.
"Angie,"
I yelled. Getting up, I walked down and knocked on the door. Even though we
disagreed, I still cared about her and didn't want her to think I was a
complete jerk. "Angie, I'm sorry. Please come back out."
The lack of
response spoke volumes. Turning back to the living room, I went and sat back
down on the couch. I looked up to see Caleb glaring at me.
"Did you
need to be such an asshole?"
"Dude, I
wasn't trying to be a dick. I just don't get why she’s so determined to set me
up."
Caleb shook his
head at me. "Is it really so bad? Angie just wants to see you happy."
"I don't
need a girl in my life to make me happy. Why is that so hard for you two to
understand?" I asked, exasperated.
Caleb leaned
forward to rest his forearms on his thighs and clasped his hands together. He
took a deep breath before beginning. "Josh, I've known you for three years
and I know for a fact you're not happy, and lately it's been getting
worse."
\
He stopped to
look down and when he looked back up again I could see the annoyance in his
eyes. "Since you haven't seen your dad lately, that's not the reason. And
it's total bullshit that you're happy screwing a different girl every
night."
That sweeping
assumption was like gas to a flame. Who was Caleb to determine what made me
happy?
"What gives
you the right to tell me what I want? I'm not you, Caleb. If there was someone
I really wanted, I’d go after them, not run away. There just isn't one that
fits that category." I turned to head back to my bedroom when Caleb's
voice stopped me.
"I know
something happened between you and Lauren last night."
A thousand
different explanations raced through my mind but before I could say anything he
put his hand up to stop me. "Don't even try to deny it. It’s written all
over your face. I'm not sure exactly what happened, nor do I want to know, but
if you're gonna keep sleeping with anything that breathes, please stay away
from Angie's friends." Avoiding my gaze he looked down to the floor,
rubbing the back of his neck in a way that made me think I wouldn’t like what
he was going to say. "I wouldn't want to have to choose between you and
her," he said sadly.

***COVER REVEAL*** TOXIC by Rachel Van Dyken
SYNOPSIS:
Everyone has a secret...
Gabe Hyde is on borrowed time. He's been hiding his identity for over four years-hidden from the world that used to adore him--obsess over him--driven to the edge of insanity by one poor choice.
But that one choice, altered the course of his life forever.
Pretending isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when pretending means hiding your real self from the people that care about you the most. But if anyone ever discovered the truth it wouldn't just be his life at risk--but hers.
Saylor doesn't hate men.
Just Gabe.
Only Gabe.
He's a reckless, happy-go-lucky, silver spoon fed pain in her ass. Everything about him makes her more and more confused. Unfortunately they both donate time at the same Group Home. If she wasn't afraid of flunking, she'd be long gone. She hates that she's attracted to him almost as much as he hates that he's attracted to her--and she can tell, especially since their first encounter ended up making her knees so weak she couldn't form coherent sentences for weeks afterwards. But the closer she gets to him, the more confused she becomes. He isn't who he says he is, and he's hiding something big.
What happen when two worlds collide? Two worlds that never should have met in the first place? Some secrets are too big to be hidden forever--the only question? Will his destroy everyone he loves? Or finally bring about the redemption he's been craving for the past four years?
Everyone has a secret...What's yours?

***NEW BOOK ALERT*** FLAME by BROOKE CUMBERLAND
2 Chicks and a Blog - Ashley's Review
Brooke mother lovin Cumberland .. you did it again .. but this one was soooo much different... Talk about STEAMY!!! Changing panties much?!?!?
Brooke, you slay me with your stories and I love Carissa even more than I thought I would .. I always connected with her from the beginning, but I didn't know if you were possibly able to pull this one off. Trust me, I have so much faith in you, but writing erotica is a special talent.
I read erotica like it's the air I breathe, and so often are the stories lacking depth and more so sex than stories. YOU HAVE A STORY!! Carissa is a different breed of heroine and her story captivated me and held on tight until the bitter end.
And look at you coming out with the plot twist!!! I'm PROUD to say that you hurt my heart, put it back together and then left me reeling for more.
YOU ARE AMAZING and this story was amazing.
The only thing I wish for this story was tighter dialogue and less telling and more showing. That is the ONLY reason for my 4.5 star review!!!
Thank you for sending us an ARC of this book and allowing me to beta read. This is going in the list of my favorites!!!

Book Title: Flame
Author: Brooke Cumberland
Genre: Erotic Romance
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions
Carissa Wright doesn’t do relationships. Raised with a junkie mother and an alcoholic father, building relationships were far off her list. Rather, one night-stands were her usual.
Carissa has one constant in her life—her best friend Velaney. Completely opposite of each other, yet they balance each other out.
Although Carissa admits to only wanting sex and nothing more, will she allow in the one guy who wants to break down her walls or will she run out of fear of finally letting her guard down?
She is unfamiliar with these feelings and wants nothing more than to walk away without a shattered heart. Will she be able to find the courage in order to turn a flame into a long lasting relationship?
With walls built up and emotions locked away, can she learn to put her heart on the line?
Or will each guy just be another flame?
I’m still blown away by Drew’s sudden attack on my lips. He left without so much as a goodbye or a here’s my number. I don’t know why it bothers me so much, but it does. One moment I’m sad, wondering if I’ll ever see him again, and the next I’m pissed off that yet again, a man has staked their claim on me and then just bailed.
Ugh…what the hell is happening to me? I don’t think about guys. I dream of sex. Of multiple orgasms. But I don’t think of guys as anything more than just that—a way to get off.
But Drew…yeah, he’s different. He’s a blend of sexy meat layered with a sense of entitlement. He knows he’s hot—he has to know. His muscles are practically popping out of his tight t-shirt. And I’m pretty sure I even saw some ink under those sleeves. Had he given me more than two minutes, my hands would’ve wandered up those arms and felt those muscles.
Ugh…dammit.
Must get Drew out of my head.
“Fuck this shit,” I yell at myself. I waltz back into the bar, searching for him through the crowd that’s gotten rowdier since the next game started.
I spot him near the back, laughing with his friends as they continue watching the game. I stalk over, grab him by the arm, and drag him with me into the back hallway.
“Feisty little thing, aren’t you?” I let go of his arm once we make it down the hall where it’s quiet. “Fucking hell, you’re strong.” He rubs his arm with his hand.
“What the hell was that?” I demand.
“I should ask you the same thing, Doll.” He eyes me curiously, not giving away his thoughts.
“Do you typically go around kissing girls like that and then bailing? Or am I the exception?” I realize I’m practically yelling at him, demanding answers, but I don’t care. He’s messing with me, and I don’t like it.
He thinks for a moment before responding. “I suppose you could be the exception to many things.” He grins, roaming his eyes up and down my body again.
I’m dumbstruck and bewildered by him. Fuck it. I grab his face in my hands and force his mouth back on mine. I’m not ready to leave his lips just yet—I need more.
He happily reciprocates, wrapping his arms around my waist as he backs me up against the wall behind me. The kiss isn’t sweet and tender like before, but rather needy and aggressive. The intensity is overwhelming, but I give in and let him take control of the kiss.
His hands roam down my ass and thighs, lifting my legs up as they wrap around his waist. He pushes hard against me, making me throb in between my legs as I feel his erection against me. Shit, he’s hard. I so desperately want to submit to my knees and take him in my mouth, but I don’t just yet. I’m too mesmerized by his mouth, his taste, that nothing else seems to matter but getting more of him.
“Oh my god, Drew…I want you. I want you right now,” I whimper out. There’s no point in beating around the bush. I want him so fucking bad.
“What do you want, Doll?” he asks, not parting our lips. “What can I give you?” he asks again softly.
Jesus…the sound of his voice is so fucking captivating. Panty-dropping, heartbeat-skipping sexy.
“Come home with me. Please.”
What the hell…I’m begging now? I don’t beg men. But shit…I’m ready to beg for him. I guess there really is an exception to certain wants.

Sawyer Beckett does everything full throttle— he’s fiercely loyal to his friends, always the life of the party and impossible for the parade of women in and out of his bedroom to forget.
Surrounded by true love and happily ever afters, Sawyer's not sure if he's enhancing the what-ifs in his head, or if the goddess on stage that night really is worth the search and nagging in his chest.
At the most inopportune moment possible, Emmett Young comes "skipping" back into his life...and for the first time, Sawyer is the one left wanting more. But Emmett can't give her heart; it's already committed—for life.
The only one strong enough to bring the elusive playboy to his knees is the one he can't have. Luckily, Sawyer Beckett doesn't give up easily.
Mature subject matter and strong sexual content- mature audiences only recommended.

Sighing, I wrap a towel around my waist and open the door, ready to try and be at least a level of cordial I know is only right. “Listen, can I-“ “She’s gone.” I look up, startled by Laney’s voice and shocked to see her sitting on my bed. Thank God I put on a towel. “Where’d she go?” “Home I guess,” she shrugs, “I didn’t ask. I heard the front door slam and got up to see what the hell. Since you’re here and she’s not, I’m assuming it was her.” How did I not hear the door slam? Not that I would have chased her. “Alright, she left. But what’re you doing in here?” She stands, grabbing some shorts off my floor and throwing them at me. “Go put those on and we’ll talk. Since I’m up,” she shoots me an evil glare. I head back in the bathroom to change, and stay in there, locking the door. I am over six feet tall and lift almost every day, and yes, I’m scared to face Laney. Not only is she a hellcat when she wants to be, but I don’t want to see the disgust or disappointment in her eyes. She’s one of my best friends, even more so after becoming roommates, and her opinion means a lot to me. “Get out here,” she yells when she finally realizes I must be stalling. “Take it like a man.” Well, I might as well go out or she’ll undoubtedly come in here, kicking in the door or taking if off the hinges in what I have no doubt would take her less than five minutes. I open it and she pats the bed beside her. “Come sit down. We’re doing this now.” I hesitantly take a seat beside her, my knee bouncing as I wait for her to speak. “First, and of the upmost importance, you know I call my father ‘daddy.’ So hearing your visitors scream it repeatedly in the middle of the night freaks me out. I wake up thinking I’m in some bad Lifetime movie.” Fighting my smirk I agree. "Okay, got it." "Second," she stands and tucks a pillow between my headboard and the wall, "leave that there." She once again sits down beside me. "School and game nights, booty call curfew is eleven. That work for you?" "Yeah," I sigh and run my hands along my head, wishing I had some hair to pull. "It won't happen again Gidge, I'm sorry." She places a hand on my shoulder with a small smile. "Don't be sorry, this is your house too and we hadn't talked about it. Now we have, so we're all good. Any rules you want to put in place?" "Nah, I'm easy." "Made crystal clear by the parade of women coming in and out of here." She laughs and scoots away quickly, ducking the pillow I grab and swing at her head. “Speaking of which, been busier than usual lately. You trying for Guiness or Gonorrhea?" Here we go - what she really wants to talk about.
S.E.Hall resides in Arkansas with her husband of 18 years and 3 beautiful daughters. When not in the stands watching her ladies play softball, she enjoys reading.
