Book One: First Semester

Violet is just a freshman, off on her first adventure, when she meets a man she dubs her “hipster Hercules”. He’s tall, dark, handsome, British…and her professor. But the heart wants what it wants and her heart sure as hell wants Professor Bernelli. However, someone isn’t too keen on keeping the two secret lovers hidden from the watchful eye of the dean and before she knows it, Violet is forced to fight for her relationship…and her life.

Book Two: Second Snowfall

Annabelle is a relationship virgin. True love has been her dream all her life and when red hot firefighter Kingsley drops into her lap, she thinks she might have found the one.

Book Three: Third Wheel

Christ has her life all planned out. First she’ll graduate college, then marry her childhood sweetheart, and live happily ever after in the traditional American Dream….the traditional, boring American Dream. Christie breaks all the rules and even meets a boy who sets her soul on fire. But life with street racer Shane has its dangers and she’s about to learn first hand that living on the edge isn’t easy.

Craving Bad? We Are…

Most people think Kelsey and I (Sarah) are one person. We are, in fact, two different authors. However, we decided it was time we do something together. We are apart of an anthology, Craving Bad: An Anthology of Bad Boys and Wicked Girls.

bAD

It is 11 stories by 11 fabulous authors about the good girls who need the bad boys and the naughty girls affected by the sweet guys.

Kelsey’s story is called Ironside Sinners. It is a motorcycle club romance. Her old man, as in her father, is big into the MC scene. She was always fascinated by the world and the culture of the relationships. Then she watched Sons of Anarchy and realized just how sexy they could be. As a result, she wrote this story. Here is the trailer for it…

My story, (Sarah), is about what happens when the bad boy you want is your twin brother’s best friend. Twins always share a special bond. I know because I have a twin brother. Now, I’ve never dated one of his best friends (that I’ll admit to) but I won’t say the temptation wasn’t there. I added that idea with one of my true loves, heist movies. Here is the trailer…

 

The book is available for pre-order and will be live on May 23rd. Kelsey and I will be doing a live video that day. Stay tuned for details about that. The anthology can be seen

In the meantime, my college romantic suspense, First Semester, is available now. Fans of Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl will get lost in this book. It can be seen

Excerpt, New Book, Writing

The Non-Disclosure Agreement

You may have read my Scottish historical romance Queen of Emeralds (which is available HERE), but now my first contemporary romance from Limitless Publishing has arrived…and it takes sex in the city to a whole new level.

The Non-Disclosure Agreement (available HERE) tells the steamy tale of business mogul Jackson Cantrell and small town girl Holly McIntyre as they struggle to keep their business and personal lives separate. But when feelings and desire enter the mix, they might find it impossible to stay away.

DSJFHE

I left my old life, and my broken heart, back in Michigan. When I moved to New York City for a fresh start, I didn’t know I would be made a sinful offer I couldn’t refuse…

My billionaire businessman boss decided that being the most powerful man on the East Coast wasn’t enough. He needed political power, too. But who would vote for a womanizing playboy with a different model on his arm every week? If he wanted to win, he needed a respectable wife…he needed me.

I had the looks, the small town charm—I was even already his employee, but was willing to pretend to be so much more. And I’ve already signed a non-disclosure agreement, making me the perfect choice.

But will there come a point where pretend just isn’t enough?

♥♥♥

The Non-Disclosure Agreement is now available for pre-order on Amazon HERE.

Misled

Look who’s back with another military mafia romance…Penelope Marshall! But it’s not just her, this time. She’s collaborated with Tia Lewis to bring you Mislead, an extra steamy story of revenge, lust, and murder.

Overall Rating: 5/6 Glass Slippers

Genre: Military Mafia Romance

Isaiah was a Navy Seal, until one decision ended his career with a dishonorable discharge. Unable to get clean work, he begins to act as mafia boss Salvator Sabella’s muscle. So when Salvator tells Isaiah that his sister, Mellissa Sabella, is on the run and wanted for murder, Isaiah grabs his gun and goes on the hunt.

Mellissa doesn’t know where to turn when her brother accuses her of murder. So she goes to the only place she knows, Isaiah’s house. She’s hoping for sanctuary with a handsome bad boy who never gave her a second glance. But her hope of safety comes with the question of who’s side Isaiah will be on and if they’ll both now have targets on their backs. Sometimes not even family ties can keep you safe.

I don’t read a lot of collaborations, just because many don’t come through my email! But I was pleasantly surprised that this book sounded like it was only done by one author, not two, which I found very impressive. The only new changes I instantly recognized, as someone very familiar with Marshall’s work, is an expanded steamy scene that gave us an extra splash of dirty sex. This is the first time I’ve read anything by Lewis, but I can imagine just how hot her books must be! Misled was thrilling, sexy, and had the distinct Marshall mafia flair with more than one unexpected twist.

Enemy Inside

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from our girl Penelope Marshall. You remember her, the author of such books as Rosaline, Unleashed, Teach Me, and many more. Well, she’s back with book one in The Captive Series, Enemy Inside.

Heat Level: ♥♥♥♥♥

Overall Rating: 6/6 Glass Slippers

Genre: New Adult/Military Romance

Kenzie St. Claire had lived a charmed life. Raised by loving parents in an affluent neighborhood, the rich and beautiful woman could live any life she wished. But all of that changes when her parents are found murdered, mere blocks from her home. Since that fateful night, Kenzie hasn’t left her home in two years.

ops564k

After two years, the irrational fears still overshadow everything else in her life. She goes through numerous personal body guards, looking for one who doesn’t get bored of watching over a recluse. When handsome ex Navy Seal Zander Smith is assigned to shadow her, the pair click and Kenzie finally feels she can breath again. But their initial sparks start to fade when pro football star Ty Crenshaw takes a liking to the beautiful heiress. But not everything is as it seems, and not everyone is safe in the little gated town. And if danger ventures into Kenzie’s home, would she be able to face her fears of the outside in order to save her own life?

As always, Marshall takes us on a wild journey of lust and twists. I’m serious about the twists. In almost every one of her books, she’s turned everything upside down at some point, leaving our characters in new places and times with a different outlook on their situations. But these twists aren’t pointless. Looking back at each book, Marshall leaves little bread crumbs that make you wonder for you missed her clues. So, if you like thrilling mysteries, sex, and hot guys, pick up a copy of Enemy Inside.

Teach Me

It’s been a while since we’ve had something new from our resident novella writer, Penelope Marshall. Remember our reviews for Rosaline? Wrath? Betrayed? Absolution? Unleashed? Indecency? Well, here’s a new one that’s unlike the past; Teach Me.

Overall Rating: 5/6 Glass Slippers

Genre: Professor Romance

Cher is a college student, halfway through a business degree. She’s working hard to get top marks in order to make her mom proud, even though she had died some time before. But besides her classes, Cher spends most of her time reading…and pushing away every member of the opposite sex. Her father abandoned her family when Cher was a baby, leaving Cher and her mom destitute and bitter. Ever since, Cher has had a deep seeded hatred and distrust of men, letting none even come close…until Regan.

When a student named Cher stumbles into his life, almost literally, Regan is forced to think about his entire career as a literature professor. Being involved with a student is against all the rules, and he could even lose his job, but he finds that he can hardly stay away from the bristly beauty that makes him question everything he’s ever known. Can Cher and Regan survive a semester trapped in the same classroom? Or will the tension force them both to ignore the rules…then break them entirely?

tumblr_inline_nhvw82shgr1rkygkg

Overall, I was pleased with this read. Some people aren’t fans of shorter novels, but sometimes I just really enjoy getting the whole story in one go, something I’m always thrilled about when Marshall sends me something! Also, this book features one of her famous twists. Seriously, they get me every time and are totally out of nowhere! Then you look back and often feel stupid for missing it. The only true fault I had with the book was one small bit…I won’t say what it was, but personal preference makes me dislike this certain romantic “grand hurrah”. But it’s generally something a lot of readers actually enjoy. So if you like steamy scenes, torn love, and the promise of more books in a series, download a copy of Teach Me, now!

But if you want a little taste of some Regan and Cher action, Marshall was kind enough to offer the first three chapters for free here!

And did I mention the sweet swag I got? Hello, look at this hottie. I’d let him teach me.

My Dirty Detour

Remember the book Nights in the Fast Lane I read, loved, and reviewed? Here’s another one by the dame author, Grace Risata, titled My Dirty Detour. It’s a romantic comedy with a splash of mob that had me literally laughing out loud.

Overall Rating: 6/6 Glass Slippers

Genre: Alpha Male Romantic Comedy

Germaphobe, plain, average, a pushover, crass, a divorcee; this is how many people would describe Violet when she accidentally wanders into the Grim Rock Distillery, run by a total asshole named Rocky. After a messy first meeting, she trades her book-keeping skills for weekly fight training from Rocky, whose finances are a hot mess. She ends up sorting out more than just the giant box of crumpled bills and gains the respect of her new coworkers. Well, except for Rocky. He’s a douche sandwich that constantly spends his time shoving his nastiness down Violet’s throat when she’s really invaluable to his business. Ya gotta wonder why she stayed.

But people change, seasons change, and some other shit, and Rocky sees that being a douche sandwich doesn’t get shit done and that he needs Violet to sort out his hella messy life. He’s had a tough go of things and Violet’s no-nonsense, but honest, demeanor appeals to him in a strange, and new, way. Violet can say the same about her mysterious boss who slowly helps her crawl out of her shell and heal from her divorce, which left her more subconscious and lonely than ever. But Rocky has just as many secrets as he does muscles.

gaston-challenged-to-pushups-wins-hard

Violet and Rocky both evolve in this delightful book where truths are exposed and characters are pushed to their personal limits. Much like Risata’s other book, I found myself reading at every available moment, just to see what happened next. It had sex, a band of flashy Russians, a plain Jane who could be any of us, and a hot guy with a bad streak and a heart of gold.
