Feature and Giveaway: The Lost Tycoon by Melody Anne
Fighting to survive, Mystic Elton takes one look at the man standing in front of her and knows she needs to make a decision – does she want to live? Discovering that her boyfriend is storing enough drugs to supply a small country, she looks for an escape route. He’s standing in the doorway – standing in the way of her freedom.
Mystic has nothing left – no family, no friends, no one she can rely on. She is all alone and frightened. Managing to get past her ex, she flees, running to the other side of the country, landing in Seattle, she changes her appearance, her name, her life.
After a year, she begins to feel safe. Her ex won’t find her. She’s beginning to pick up the pieces of her once shattered existence and carve out a new world for herself.
That is, until a tall, well-dressed man shows up at her job and tells her they need to talk – and he knows her real name. Fleeing to get away from him, she rushes to the back room and grabs her Taser. When she hits him with it, she thinks she’s home free.
She’s not.
All Mystic has done is really tick off Bryson Winchester, and all he’s trying to do is help her by getting her scum of an ex off the streets.
Mystic has a choice to make. Is this a man she can believe in? Is any man worthy of her precious trust? She’ll find the answers, though they may not be what she expects or wants – her entire world is about to be turned upside down, because not only will she find there are some men out there worth trusting – she will find out the secret of her birth – the reality of who she really is.
Some things should stay in the past – and others… Other things will come back with a vengeance.

ARC Review: Tyler & Stella by Heidi Joy Tretheway
Tyler & Stella is the second book in Heidi Joy Tretheway's Tattoo Thief series. I will admit that going into this story I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to get behind the heroine after meeting her in the first book. I am so glad that I gave this one a shot though as she completely changed my opinion of her. This book can be read as a stand alone, but the characters are linked. I highly recommend that you start with Tattoo Thief in order to get to know the characters better though and see how the events from that book really set into motion the plot for Tyler & Stella. It isn't necessary though, but I think it definitely adds to the experience of this book. I am really enjoying this series, and I already can't wait for the next book.
After betraying her best friend, Stella is determined to earn Beryl's trust back. When Tyler offers to let her see their practice space for help with a story on the band Tattoo Thief, she jumps at the chance to redeem herself. She plans to write a story only telling the information that they provide for her. As Stella is around Tyler, the attraction and chemistry between them is undeniable and has Stella making a move. Tyler shuts her down quickly though, and Stella is left reeling. Stella trys to keep her distance, but they keep running into each other and every time Tyler ends up rescuing her. Stella has her reasons for keeping men at arm's length, and Tyler is determined to have all or nothing when it comes to her. The closer they get, the more the begin to feel for each other. But when a story comes out of nowhere that threatens everything growing between them, will they be able to find a way to get through it together?
I liked Tyler. He was sweet and a bit shy, and completely unlike any rockstar I have ever read about. I loved that he was so much more than you get at first glance. He was funny and a great friend, always looking out for others before himself. I liked that he was so down to earth and was so determined when it came to Stella. He really helped her to be a better person, and he never came off as judgmental or arrogant. He genuinely just wanted to help her and see if they had a chance to take their feelings and attraction and have something real. Stella had a lot of ground to make up after the end of Tattoo Thief. I honestly wasn't sure how she could possibly do it and really make it believable. But Stella seemed to truly be sorry for what she had done and I loved that she immediately opened up to Beryl and gave her her own deepest darkest secret to show that she trusted her. Stella was a bit broken after everything that she had been through, and it explained a lot of her actions. She had been through so much and hadn't had anyone to really lean on. It's not an excuse for her character, but it really showed just how lonely and down she had become. I really thought that Stella and Tyler were great together. They seemed to be a great balance for each other, and were pretty much the perfect example of opposites attract. They had really great chemistry together and were hot, but I really loved their sweetness the most.
Overall, I really enjoyed Tyler & Stella and thought that they were a great couple. I loved how they stood by each other and supported one another. I wish that Tyler and Stella had chosen to reveal their secrets to each other rather than having them found out because of others. That was my one complaint with this story. I just felt like it would have meant so much more between them if they had chosen to give the other that information without it only coming to light because it was thrust on them. But it was great to see how Stella really evolved from the character we first met with the help of Tyler and the rest of the Tattoo Thief family. I love how close this group is and how they really go all out for each other. Their camaraderie is really special, and I think that they have some of the best chemistry as a group that I have ever read about. They are all so different and that is what makes them so strong. I also really liked getting to meet Violet. I liked seeing her and Stella become friends, and I can't wait to get to know her better. I think that this series is one that is definitely worth reading, and I love how unique these stories are. They are not your typical rockstar romances and I think that is what makes them so enjoyable. I think that these characters are extremely easy to relate to despite the fact that they are rockstars and I highly recommend checking this series out if you haven't read it yet.

Feature and Giveaway: Tempted by the Soldier by Nicolette Day
When one touch isn’t enough, why resist?
Road trips are supposed to be fun. Or, at least, full of hot sex. For photographer Lilly Grayson, the fifteen-hour drive to her friend’s wedding with Nate Jennings will be neither. Not that Nate isn’t sexy—the man is six-foot-three-inches of mouth-watering Marine. But Lilly’s been there, done that…and he walked away. Now it’s time for a little payback. The kind that’ll make a man desperate for a taste of what he can’t have.
And Nate wants a taste—so badly that he can barely keep his hands on the wheel. But the scars and ghosts of his last tour still haunt him. He can’t give into temptation, not this time. Lilly deserves a whole man—one who can love her the way she deserves to be loved, even if she doesn’t believe it can happen. And that can’t be Nate. Not when he’s leaving again in two weeks, and this time, he’s not sure he’ll return…
