Blurb

That’s how the whole neighborhood refers to the apartment where I live with three other college students. It’s a bit judgmental, considering the neighborhood we live in is more like a zoo than an apartment complex, but not inaccurate. If you put that many young guys together, things are bound to be interesting. I still maintain that the giant water guns filled with poison ivy water were not my idea.
January Dixon.
She’s the girl I’ve lusted after for years. A smart mouth and sharp tongue surrounded by soft beauty and a body I’d give up an organ just to touch. An important organ, like a kidney, not one of those lame ones like a gallbladder.
It’s a tricky situation since she lives right down the street, and dating a neighbor generally isn’t a good idea. But this is Violent Circle, where normal may as well be a dirty word. Thanks to an impromptu fashion show where I tossed all self-respect aside and strutted my stuff in full bondage gear in front of our small town, she now owes me a date.

And I plan to collect,

Excerpt

“So, we just chuck it out there and drag it in?” I ask.
“Pretty much. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to feel if you’ve caught something or if it’s just trapped between rocks. It’s not very rock here, so it’s a good beginner spot.”
A cute smile flashes across his face as he asks me, “Are your ready?”
“Let’s do it.”
“Later, beautiful, for now, we fish.”
A giggle escapes me as I reach for a rope. “Just show me how far to throw it.”
“We’ll do the first one together. Then we have to put some space between us so our magnets don’t find each other. When they get stuck together, they’re a bitch to pull apart.”
Handing me a pair of gloves, he grabs the rope, and we walk to the edge of the water. He throws the magnet hard, and it splashes as it disappears underwater. The current pulls a little on the rope, but the magnet is heavy enough to sink.”
Standing beside me, he says, “Just pull it nice and slow.”
“Are we still talking about the rope?” Before he can reply, I feel a slight tug. “I think I have something!”
Noble puts his hand on the rope in front of mine and tugs a little. “It’s something big.”
Excitement floods through me as I imagine all the things that could have ended up in the river. What if it’s a safe? A safe full of money!
“Keep pulling, steady and slow so you don’t lose it.”
The object is getting closer and closer, a little more and I’ll be able to see it. When I pull again, the rope won’t budge. “It’s stuck on something.”
I try to hand Noble the rope, but he moves behind me instead and reaches around my sides, gripping the rope along with me. Together, we manage to get it moving again without losing the mystery object.
My squeal of excitement make Noble laugh. “You aren’t having fun on our date, are you?” he teases
“As long as you understand I’m keeping all the money we find in the safe we’re dragging up.” His laughing scares away some nearby birds. “It's like finding buried treasure,” I add.
“Don’t worry, there’s only one booty I’m interested in.”
“Pirate puns, really?”
“So, I’ll be swabbing my own deck?”
Laughing together, we give the rope one last heave and the object clangs, flips over, and lands in the mud.
“Don’t spend all that money in one place,” Noble snorts.
“A shopping cart? Who throws a shopping cart in the river?”
Noble sloshes through the mud and yanks the magnet free. “It’s not the first one I’ve snagged.”
“What’s the best thing you’ve caught?”
He turns and grins at me, giving me the urge to kiss that little dimple. “Your eye.”
It was a completely lame response. So why do I want to throw him down in the mud and ravage him? My lack of reply just makes his smile broaden.
“Ha! No comeback and you’re blushing. I think I won that one.”
“And what do you think you’ve won?”
Noble throws the magnet back out. “Well, another date, at least.”
“We aren’t even finished with this one.” I take the rope from him.
“No, all our dates have to end with a kiss.”
The thought of his lips on mine sends a spike of excitement through me, but I can’t let him see it.
Keeping my voice as nonchalant as possible, I ask, “So if I kiss you now, we can call it a day?”
Sauntering up to me, his grin falls, and his voice deepens. “Do you want me to kiss you, January?”
The rope in my hand is forgotten, dropped to the bank as his hand cups my jaw. His palms are warm against my face. He presses his soft lips to mine for a moment, then retreats, before kissing me again, just as tenderly. It’s the sweetest kiss I’ve ever been given, and my stomach explodes in butterflies like a teenage girls. It feels wonderful.

I’m so screwed.

Sunday Morning Coffee ~ Reviews By Em



Good Morning!
Happy Sunday!

I am a book junkie at heart!
Books are my escape from reality!
I love sharing my love of books with you all!

Check out the books I’ve devoured in February and March of this year.
They are all amazing reads - each in their own way.   Get to 
ONE-CLICKING! You won’t be disappointed.

Let’s start off with....

Gorgeous - Book One
By Lisa Shelby
5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



• Review By Chasing The Words •

Oh where to even start....

Gorgeous has romance, angst, suspense, a sassy girl, a hot guy, and some teary eyed moments...I mean seriously how can you go wrong???  Oh and sexy time is hot...hot...hot...and sometimes sweet and romantic.  

From page one I was captivated with this book. Olivia is an independent woman who has a secret.  Ronan is the hot, billionaire who is a hard@ss to the outside world but a softy when it counts.  When Ronan sets his sights on Olivia a series of events turn both their lives upside down.  

I loved watching Ronan and Olivia’s relationship form.  One was very strong willed and wouldn’t give up. The other was scared and had trepidation.  What ensues between the two had me smiling more than not throughout the book.  I truly felt like they were meant to find each other in one way or another.  

Secrets are revealed. 
Feeling are shared.

Trust is born but is that enough.  Towards the end of Gorgeous I was on the edge of my seat reading page after page needing answers and them bam I read the words “To be continued...” and I literally said it can’t freaking end here I need my answers.  You know you are engrossed in the book when you didn’t see that ending coming and you end up talking to your book.  Thanks Lisa for making me look crazy in front of my family ðŸ˜€.


Gorgeous is 5+ Stars in my book. I can’t wait to get my hands on book 2 to get my answers.  Lisa Shelby, another amazing book.  I loved every beautifully written word you wrote.

Next up.....

Our Alternate Ending
By Katie Fox
5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



• Review By Chasing The Words •

Oh my aching heart. I am not even sure where to begin.  Katie Fox will have your emotions all over the place. Our Alternate Ending is such a beautifully written story and sends an even more beautiful message at the end of the day. To love with every breathe you have. To have the courage to keep fighting when the fight is gone.  To have faith in a higher power and to not let fear stop you from living your life to the fullest every single day.

Owen and Elle met at a time when they both needed each other in one way or another.     A botched interview turns into life changing events for all involved.  Fate steps in and ultimately changes the course of two lives.  

From page one I fell in love with Elle and her cute and quirky self.  Bad luck seemed to follow her wherever she went but she didn’t let that deter her.  She kept on trekking on. Her strength (whether she knew she had it or not), love for her family and courage were something I admired.  Faced with an unimaginable situation, decisions had to be made and she could with cower in a corner and run from it or step up and run towards it full speed.  

Owen is the arrogant brut you couldn’t help but also love.  He frustrated me at times because he was such a puzzle.  I kept trying to piece it together and when all the pieces finally came together I understood where he was coming from and I fell in love with him more. 

Page, after page my heart was in shambles. I was laughing, I was smiling, I had tears in my eyes or I had tears pouring out of my eyes.  At 5:30am I read the word “The End” and my heart soured from the emotions in the book and I felt like I could finally breathe again.  Definitely have some tissues on hand. Our Alternate Ending is a must read.  This is my first book that I’ve read by Katie Fox but will definitely not be my last. I am hooked. 

I am going to leave you with one of the quotes that sat with me throughout reading Owen and Elle’s story....


“The road to our dreams is filled with obstacles, sweetheart. And that’s all he is: an obstacle. They all serve their purpose, and usually it’s not until we’ve reached our final destination do we learn if they were placed in our path to make us stronger or set us back.”

Tap That 
By Jennifer Blackwood and R.C. Boldt
5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

• Review By Chasing The Words •

Tap That is most definitely a WINNER!
BINGO!!!

I just couldn’t get enough of Tap That.  Jennifer Blackwood and R.C. Boldt have a way with words that has you laughing one minute, hot and bothered the next and then even at times a little pissed off.  Reid and Callie to say are hysterical together is an understatement.  The banter back and forth between the two had me clutching my stomach at times from laughing so hard. It was like that awkward you don’t know if you should laugh or not kinda moments.  #Priceless

Callie, Callie, Callie...the girl got in over her head but damn if she didn’t do her best to make herself shine.  She did have some cringe worthy moments that  in my head I’m saying “Oh no she didn’t just say that”. LOL. She did also love to poke the bear (Reid) though...

“He’s like a big red do not push button. And now all I want to do is press the damn button.”

Then you have Reid and his smooth talking, sexy @ss self.  I loved him to pieces. He was down to earth and loveable.  He gave it just as good as he got it in regards to Callie.  

I would tell you my favorite part of the book but I’m afraid it will ruin it for everyone so just know Reid has all the smooth talking, “anti-dating” stuff down pack.  I just absolutely loved Reid and Callie together.

Tap That is a definite must read! I couldn’t get enough of it!!!

And FINALLY......

Addicted To Love 
By A.M. Myers
5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



• Review By Chasing The Words •

One day....
Couple of hours....
Addicted To Love was devoured...

A.M. Myers blew me again once again with Addicted To Love - book two in Bayou Devils MC series!  From page one I was addicted and couldn’t put the book down.  It was intense and has everything I love in a MC book.

Chance, the man definitely has perseverance and doesn’t give up easily.  Carly, the girl was infuriating at times. She was too independent for her own good and stuck inside her head more times then not.  But god how I loved the two of them and everyone within the Bayou Devils Club.  At the end of the day it was about family and sticking by each other through thick and thin. 

Addicted To Love has angst, drama, suspense, some sticky situations, romance, hot sex, heart break and heartache.  My heart was in pieces a time or two and seriously broke for Carly and what she went through.  This book is a definite must read!
